Filtering, Sorting & Searching Tickets

In Fluent Support, you can easily Filter, Sort, and Search through your tickets, which makes it easier for you to find any tickets, and arrange the tickets in any order that is convenient for you.

  • From the dashboard, if you navigate to the Tickets option, you will see quite a few options for filtering and sorting your tickets. Given below is the list of all these options explained in detail –

Status #

The ticket status is the ticket’s current state, which indicates whether a ticket is resolved or not. These are all the available statuses – Open, Active, New, Closed, and All.

The Status is automatically updated, so for example, if an agent closes a ticket, then the status will be marked as Closed. Similarly, a new ticket will have the status New.

Custom Ticket Status #

Fluent Support has brought a new feature where you can add new statuses to the dashboard using Fluent Support’s Filterhook feature. Having a custom ticket status is crucial for most support teams. You can sort tickets based on the custom status, making prioritizing much easier.

Go to the functions.php & add the (below) code to create the Custom Ticket Status.

add_filter(‘fluent_support/ticket_status_groups’, function($statuses){
$statuses[‘unread’] = [‘Unread’];
return $statuses;
});

Then, the custom ticket status was created (See the below screenshot). You can also customize the ticket status text according to your requirements.

Search #

In the Search box, you can easily search for a ticket by typing a relevant keyword & then clicking the search icon. In the case of searching, you have to use some parameters before the search term in order to search accordingly.

Here is a list of available search parameters –
