Tickets
Admin Permission Area
The Tickets page within Admin Utilities allows administrators to set up how your company uses the Ticketing system. This includes creating and editing statuses, priorities, categories, etc. You also have the ability to create ticket templates. Using templates is key in developing consistent company wide practices in terms of problem solving and speed of service.

Email to Ticket
The Email to Ticket function allows emails that are in the system to be automatically digested as a ticket to the applicable subscriber's account.
Select ADD EMAIL TO TICKET RECORD to add.
Input the specific information.
Below is an example of an Email to Ticket record:
The system completes several steps behind the scenes to ensure that the email is assigned to the correct subscriber account. These are the processes in place when an email comes into a mailbox that is digested into Vision:
- Check the email body for a Vision ID to tie back to an existing ticket (only if an email had been previously sent out of Vision).
If there is no match, then:
- Check from email address to match to an account, then use email subject to match to specific ticket.
- If there is an email address matched to a subscriber, but no existing open ticket, then a new ticket will be created on the subscriber account.
If there is no match, then:
- Check the default subscriber for email subject that matches to a specific ticket.
If there is no match, then:
- Create a new ticket on a default subscriber.
Templates
