The Service Board page shows all tickets in all Service Boards you have access to see. 

NOTE: A Service Board is like a queue.  We can set up notification and workflows specific to a Service Board.   You will have access to most of the queues listed in the screen shot below.

If you are focusing on tickets in only one service board (queue), you can filter it by selecting it in the Service Board filter near the type of the page, or you can customize your list and add the “Service Board” field as a column in your list view and filter within the list. 

NOTE: To customize your list, look for the gear icon on the upper right section of the Board tab on the page.  You can make multiple changes here: 

  • Set the page to refresh results at certain intervals. 

  • Set the page to automatically load search results when you open the screen. 

  • Refresh the list on the page when you return to the screen. 

  • Hide or show service ticket columns. 

  • Re-arrange the column sequence in the list view.  (You can also drag and drop to move columns.)

Review the ticket.  

If there is work to perform on the ticket, make the following updates. 

  • Set Status = In Progress 

  • Set Ticket Owner to you. 

  • Click the “Save” icon. 

 

When you have resolved a ticket, make the following updates.
