Ticket templates are pre-built ticket blueprints that automatically populate fields when you create a new ticket. They help us standardize recurring work (like onboarding, firewall installs, PC setups, etc.) and reduce manual entry.
Ticket templates are available directly from inside the ticket. Click EDIT in the ticket. You will then see the dropdown box for the ticket templates on the upper right of the ticket. Make sure to save the ticket after choosing a template.
Here are some ticket templates we use frequently.
