[ZSD] Best Practices = 1 Sender, 1 Recipient, 1 Ticket. Creating a new Service Desk Support Ticket.

Summary

Initial emails to cwsupport@cwilson.com which include other recipients can cause additional tickets to be created for the same request.

To request assistance, email cwsupport@cwilson.com WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL recipients. This will create your ticket.


If others are included, they will get your ORIGINAL email (without a ticket number) and may reply ALL, which will create a NEW ticket for THEM under the same issue.

In this example, ZEN user Replies All to the original email sent from Dude to ZEN & CWSupport.

An additional ticket #101032 is created under ZEN for the same issue as Dude's #101030.

Once the ticket has been created/email received, Dude can include ZEN in any reply or forward.

*** When an email includes recipient cwsupport@cwilson.com,
ONLY reply or forward the email
with the TICKET number the the subject line.*** 

IE. ' Service Desk: Incident #101030 How does support ticketing work? (Pending) - Created '

  - Including CWSUPPORT and new recipients in the 'ticket email' will UPDATE the ticket with
     the new information so
everyone in  the chain can stay informed.
  - Removing CWSUPPORT from a reply or forward 'ticket email' will not update the ticket
     and is treated as just another email.

Best practice: 1 Sender + 1 Recipient = 1 Ticket.

Happy Ticketing!
