Administrator
Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure you have:
- Administrator access in Easy8.
- A basic overview of your company's support team structure (e.g., departments, client types, services offered).
How to Structure Your HelpDesk Projects
Step 1: Decide the Overall Structure
You must choose between two basic setups:
Option 1: One HelpDesk Project
- All tickets are created and processed inside a single HelpDesk project.
- Easier to manage for smaller teams or companies with simple support processes.
- Suitable if all support agents can handle all types of tickets.
- Simple reporting and ticket overview.
Option 2: Multiple HelpDesk Projects
- Tickets are separated into different HelpDesk projects based on department, service type, client groups, or locations.
- Useful for larger organizations with specialized teams (e.g., IT Support, Sales Support, Product Support).
- Allows different workflows, SLA rules, trackers, and notification settings per HelpDesk project.
- Provides detailed reporting for each group separately.
Tip: If unsure, start with a single HelpDesk project. You can always expand later by creating more specialized HelpDesk projects.
Troubleshooting
| Situation | Advice |
|---|---|
| Tickets seem unorganized in one project | Consider splitting into multiple HelpDesk projects based on team or service type. |
| Managing multiple projects feels too complex | Try merging workflows or teams under a single HelpDesk project if possible. |
Conclusion
Choosing the right HelpDesk project structure is the first step to building an efficient and scalable client support system in Easy8. Start simple, and adjust the structure as your company or support needs grow.
