Use ticket type categories to allow the system to automatically upgrade tickets to categories based on their due time.
To use the feature:
- Choose the category to upgrade the ticket to
- Set the minimum number of minutes before the due time to cause the upgrade. The system upgrades tickets when their due time is less than the minimum minutes before their due time
The smaller the minimum number of minutes before due time, the higher the priority of the ticket.
Example
| Category | Revision | Short | Emergency |
| Minimum minutes (before due time) | 8 hours (480 minutes) | 4 hours (240 minutes) | 2 hours (120 minutes) |
| Result | All tickets with due times of 8 hours or more are upgraded to the Revision ticket category | All tickets with due times between 4 hours and 2 hours are upgraded to the Short ticket category | All tickets with due times of 2 hours or less are upgraded to the Emergency ticket category |
