Commenting on Tickets

Comments in tickets can be either public or private. When you need more information from a customer, you can add a public comment to the ticket. The customer will receive an email alert about the comment. In addition, you can also leave private comments that are visible only to the other agents and not the customers. 
 
Notes
Note: 
The Private comments thread will appear on a light yellow color background. 
The Public comments thread will appear on a light blue color background.

To add a comment

  1. Open a ticket in its detail view.
  2. Click the Comment icon (  ) from the top pane. 
  3. Enter your comment. 
  4. Choose to comment either as Public or Private.
    You can toggle the Public option from the drop-down to comment as public.
  5. Click Comment to update the ticket. 



Viewing Original Email Headers in Tickets

 There are instances when the agents need to verify the authenticity of where the email originated. In such a case, looking at the original email headers would allow them to verify the information. 

To view original ticket email headers

  1. Open a ticket in its detail view.
  2. Click the more option from a ticket thread and select Show Original.
    A separate window with the original message will open. You can either copy or download the header if required.



Notes
Note: The Show Original option will be visible only on a ticket thread and won't be available on any comment threads.
