Using Ticket Status and Priorities Correctly

Last updated March 16, 2026

Organize Tickets Efficiently

Status

Each ticket has one of four statuses:

  • Open — New request, no response sent yet
  • In Progress — Agent is working on it, waiting for internal clarification
  • Waiting — Response sent, waiting for customer feedback
  • Closed — Issue resolved, no further action needed

Priorities

  • Low — General questions, feature requests
  • Normal — Standard inquiries (default setting)
  • High — Important customer issues that should be resolved promptly
  • Urgent — System failures, data loss, business-critical problems

Best Practice

Change the status directly in the ticket view by clicking on the status badge. Use "Waiting" after every response to the customer — this way you can see at a glance which tickets are still waiting on your action.
