Hello,
In Custom Names can someone tell me what the difference is between Issue Category, Issue Type and Issue?
Thank you
Hello,
In Custom Names can someone tell me what the difference is between Issue Category, Issue Type and Issue?
Thank you
The definitions I found in the guide, don’t seem to be correct:
- Ticket Category: Change the name of a ticket wizard category (e.g., Devices / Hardware, Provisioning, Other Requests, etc.)
- Model: Change the name of a specific device model (e.g., Chromebook 11 3189, HP Chromebook 11 G5 EE, Dell Chrome 11 3189, etc.).
- Model Category: Change the name of a category of models (e.g., Laptops, Chromebooks, Computers, etc.).
- Issue Category: Change the names of the Devices/Assets, Software/Online System, and Network/Wifi ticket categories.
- Issue Type: Change the name of a broad category a specific issue falls under (e.g., Hardware Damage, Power, Sound, etc.)
- Issue: Change the name of a specific issue (i.e., Cracked Housing, Sound is distorted, Can’t login, etc.).
For example: Issue Category: Change the names of the Devices/Assets, Software/Online System, and Network/Wifi ticket categories. This seems to be accomplished in the Ticket Wizard category.
Most importantly to me I don’t understand the difference between Issue Type and Issue. From what I can tell they seem to refer to the same thing, with the difference that Issue includes a Category as well as the Issue Type, and seems to take precedence over Issue Type. If someone could explain what the difference is I would appreciate it.
Thanks
This is a great question and it is confusing.
Issue Type: Renames all issues. (Example: Issue not listed renames it everywhere it appears in tickets in all issue categories.)
Issue: Selective renaming of issues under a specific issue category (Example: Issue not listed ONLY under a issue category Desktops > Power issues category.)
Thank you for bring to our attention that our documentation needs to be updated We will work on getting that updated.
Thanks for the clarification!
