How HelpDesk Users Work with Tickets

Introduction

This article explains how HelpDesk users work with tickets in Easy8. HelpDesk users are special users who manage their tickets through emails and HelpDesk-specific links. Understanding how ticket management works helps to organize external communication better.

Main Concept

HelpDesk users interact with tickets differently than standard Easy8 users:

• HelpDesk users do not access the full Easy8 project environment.
• They manage their tickets through:
  • Replies to notification emails.
  • Special HelpDesk login pages.
  • Direct ticket links.
• Their actions are limited to communication, updates, and monitoring their tickets.

Detailed Explanation

Ticket Assignment

• Tickets are linked to HelpDesk users based on:
  • The sender's email address.
  • Manual linking by administrators or internal users.

A HelpDesk user becomes the ticket Requestor.

Ticket Updates

HelpDesk users can:

• Reply to system notification emails to add comments.
• Use direct links to view and update tickets via HelpDesk pages.
• View ticket history if allowed by settings.

Ticket Restrictions

Compared to internal users:

• HelpDesk users cannot access full project structures or dashboards.
• They cannot freely browse all tickets — only those linked to them.
• Their actions are limited by HelpDesk-specific permissions set during user creation.

Communication Flow

1. HelpDesk system notifies the user via email.
2. The user replies or clicks on the direct ticket link.
3. Updates or new information are added to the ticket via email reply or HelpDesk interface.
4. Support team processes and continues communication.

Special Links and Access

HelpDesk users access their tickets through:

• Login page:
  Example: https://yourcompany.easyredmine.com/helpdesk/login
• Ticket list page:
  Example: https://yourcompany.easyredmine.com/helpdesk/tickets
• Direct ticket view page:
  Example: https://yourcompany.easyredmine.com/easy_helpdesk_issues/12345

Practical Examples

• A client receives a notification about a new ticket created from their email.
• They reply directly to the email — their response becomes a new comment.
• They click on the provided HelpDesk link to view ticket details and see the support team’s answers.

Conclusion

HelpDesk users work with their assigned tickets mainly through emails and HelpDesk pages. They are designed to provide simple communication for clients without exposing the full Easy8 system.
