Quick start: your first ticket
Log, assign, and resolve a ticket in DeskHelp in a few minutes.
This guide walks you through the full lifecycle of a ticket.
1. Open the Tickets dashboard
In your workspace sidebar, click Tickets. You'll see your metrics at the top (open, in progress, resolved, urgent, and average resolution time) and your ticket queue below.
2. Create a ticket
Click New ticket and fill in:
- Subject — a short summary of the request
- Description — the details
- Priority — low, medium, high, or urgent
- Assignee — the teammate who will own it (optional)
- Customer — the name and email of the person who reached out (optional)
3. Work the ticket
Open the ticket to see its full view. From here you can change its status, adjust priority, reassign it, and post replies in the conversation thread.
4. Resolve it
When the request is handled, set the status to Resolved. DeskHelp automatically records the resolution time, which feeds your dashboard metrics.
That's the whole loop — capture, assign, resolve.
