Adding and Associating Products with Tickets
In Zoho Desk, you can manage your company-wide products that are sold or serviced to your customers. Your agents can use the Products module effectively according to their department process. The products added to your help desk can be linked with other modules, such as tickets, contacts, and accounts. Typically, the Product details page contains the product name, product owner, manufacturer name, product code, price, to name a few.
