Support Departments
Support Departments
Departments let you route tickets to the right team and keep your support operation organised.
Creating a Department
- Go to Departments from the navigation.
- Click New Department.
- Enter a name (e.g. Technical Support, Billing, General Enquiries).
- Optionally add a description and set an email prefix for the portal.
- Click Save.
Assigning Agents to Departments
In Agent Settings, each user can be assigned to a specific department. When a ticket is created for that department, it can be auto-routed to the agents assigned there.
Department-level Views
On the Tickets list, you can filter by department to see only tickets for a particular team. The Dashboard also shows ticket counts broken down by department.
Tips
- Keep department names short and clear — customers see them when submitting portal tickets.
- Create an All Departments agent by leaving the department blank in Agent Settings — these agents see all tickets regardless of department.
