About Ticket Management Preferences

The Ticket Management Preferences page manages the list of ticket dispositions. A ticket disposition is a text string such as "Pending customer confirmation" or "Under investigation." You can use a ticket disposition to label a ticket's status. You can access the Ticket Management Preferences page only if you have the Ticket Manage permission.

When a ticket is overdue, it's automatically escalated to additional stakeholders via email notification. Ticket Management Preferences allow the user to disable escalations for tickets with a specified disposition. For example, the user may not want to escalate overdue tickets if the disposition is "Pending customer confirmation."
