Messages tab
Ticket processing view opens by default to the "Messages" tab, where you can see the entire message chain of the ticket. The sender, date and the recipient of the message are written at the top of each message. The background colors of the messages in the message chain differ as follows: the received message is on a white background, the sent message is on a blue background, and the internal note is on a green background.
There are three icons in the upper right corner of each message, from which the message can be set as a solution (heart), a single message can be forwarded to a new recipient without any other history (arrow to the right), and opening the message in a new window (arrow inside the box). The messages in the message thread can be opened and closed in the view by pressing the "Open/close"-icon in the upper right corner of the thread.
On the left side of the view you can see how much time is left for the first response and for the resolution. Responding to the ticket is done by pressing the "Reply" button, either at the top of the ticket or at the end of the message thread. The ticket can also be forwarded to a new recipient by pressing the "Forward" button at the top of the ticket or at the end of the message thread. The "Note" button can be used to create internal notes in the message thread of the ticket, which are only visible to internal employees.
Responding to ticket
At the top of ticket response form, you can see the sender of the response, the recipient of the response, and in addition "cc" fields where the recipient's e-mail addresses can be added, separated by a comma and a space. You can include the ticket's message history to the reply by clicking "Include history"-checkbox as active. The response can also include the signature defined behind the user by selecting the "Include signature"-checkbox as active. Both of these checkboxes can be configured as pre-activated in the settings.
The reply form uses a rich text editor, which allows you to format the text in many different ways. In the editor, you can change the format of the text, the color of the text along with the background, remove formatting, add/edit links, tables, etc. You can also add attachments to the reply by dragging them onto the "Drop files here"-field or alternatively by clicking on the field and choosing a file from your computer.
The reply can be scheduled to go out on a specified date and time by pressing the calendar icon. The reply can also be opened in a preview window at any stage by pressing the "Preview" button. Sending a reply can be done in two different ways. If you want to send only a reply to the ticket, you can press the "Send" button. Alternatively, if you want to send a reply and change the status of the ticket simultaneously (e.g. you want to close the ticket at the same time), this can be done by pressing the cog-button to the right of the "Send" button and selecting "Send and assign: (desired status)".
