  • On the Accounts tab (when viewing the account list) in the window that appears when you click Ticketing > Tickets on the Configure tab.

For agents and agent teams, the account views appear as options in the Select a predefined view field in the Accounts List section on the agent desktop.

    The New Search View window appears.
