Ticket Priority Field in BoldDesk
Ticket Priority is a standard system field within the ticket form that helps agents and customers indicate the urgency level of tickets. Agents can prioritize their responses according to this urgency. The Priority field plays a key role in defining SLA policies, as response and resolution times can be determined based on it.
- You can modify the Priority label for the customer portal, but you cannot change the label for the agent portal.
- The Priority field is universal and enabled by default in the agent portal. However, you may choose to hide/show the Priority field in the customer portal by enabling/disabling it in the Priority field settings.
Showing Priority Field in the Customer Portal
To show the Priority field in the customer portal, please follow the steps below.
- Go to Fields and Forms > Ticket fields > Priority and click on the edit icon.
