How to add a new view

You have several standard SharePoint ways to create your own custom view. To simplify your work we added such option to home navigation. Just click “…” button in home navigation and select “Create view”. All views you created are displayed under “…” menu.

Mark tickets as read or unread

When a ticket is created or updated it is marked as unread for the assignee. All unread tickets are displayed with bold typed titles and IDs in “My tickets” and “My overdue” views. There is also a separate Unread view, where the agent can see all unread tickets.

You can mark tickets as read or as unread manually. Select single or multiple tickets in the view, switch to “HelpDesk” tab in the ribbon and click “Mark as Read” or “Mark as Unread” button:
