Configuration Options for Custom Ticket Statuses
What configuration options are available for custom ticket statuses?
When creating or editing a custom ticket status, you have several configuration options. You can assign the status to a category like Open, Pending, or Solved, but not New or Closed. You can specify a name and description for both agents and end users, and decide if they should see different views. Additionally, you can activate or deactivate the status as needed. Remember, once saved, the category cannot be changed.
