How do helpdesk tickets and SLAs work?

Raise HR/IT tickets in categories, track replies and status, and rate the resolution; agents work a queue with per-priority SLA timers and breach alerts.

Quick answer

Employees raise tickets in tenant-configurable categories; agents triage a queue with assignment, priority and status controls. Per-priority SLA policies set first-response and resolution targets, an hourly sweep alerts agents on breaches, and employees rate the resolution (CSAT) when their ticket closes.

Raising and tracking a ticket

Helpdesk → New ticket: pick a category, describe the issue, submit. The conversation lives on the ticket page — replies notify you, and you can reopen after resolution or leave a CSAT rating.

Working the queue (agents/admins)

The Queue shows all tickets with SLA state at a glance (on track / due soon / breached), filterable by status and priority. Assign, reprioritise, reply and resolve from the detail view. Settings holds your categories and SLA policies per priority.

A note on sensitive issues

Harassment or grievance matters shouldn't go through the general queue — use Raise a Concern, which routes confidentially to your grievance committee.

Frequently asked questions

Who answers my ticket?
Tenant admins and designated agents work the queue. Your ticket shows its assignee, every reply, and its current status at all times.
What if a ticket isn't answered in time?
Each priority has SLA targets for first response and resolution. An hourly sweep flags breaches and alerts the agents, so overdue tickets can't slip silently.
Can I reopen a resolved ticket?
Yes — if the fix didn't stick, reopen it from the ticket page. You can also rate your experience after resolution.
