A ticket view is a customized view of a table containing tickets, intended to help you and your agents to easily segment, find, track, prioritize, or manage tickets, without the need for a manual search. You can define a ticket view based on the properties of a ticket and also define who can view or modify the ticket view. 

Ticket views are of the following types:

  • Dashboard: Ticket views of this type appear as options in the Select a predefined view field in a ticket dashboard window.
  • List: Ticket views of this type appear as options in the Select a predefined view field on the Tickets tab that appears when you go to Ticketing > Tickets on the Configure tab.
    For agents and agent teams, ticket views appear as options in the Select a predefined view field in the ticket list section on their Agent Desktops.
