A ticket template is a set of predefined field values that can be applied to a specific support request. It simplifies ticket creation by pre-filling the values when you manually submit a ticket. The template can include values for standard fields and any custom fields you have. For example, you can create individual templates for the frequently-raised support issues. Also, the templates can be visible to end users and agents, or agents only.
Note:
- Only users with Profile permission for managing Email and Ticket Templates can access this feature.
- Ticket templates are available only on Professional and Enterprise.
- Ticket templates are layout specific. Enterprise edition users can create upto 20 layouts in a department.
