SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 SayPro Monthly Classified Support Tickets: Implement a support ticket system for user inquiries by SayPro Classified Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR
To ensure a comprehensive and efficient support ticket system, employees must maintain detailed logs for each support ticket raised under the SayPro Monthly Classified Support Tickets initiative. This will help streamline communication, track the progress of user inquiries, and maintain clear documentation of all activities related to support requests. The logs should adhere to the following structure, capturing relevant details for each support ticket.
1. Ticket ID
Each ticket must have a unique identification number (Ticket ID) for easy reference. This ID should be auto-generated by the ticketing system or assigned manually and tracked throughout the resolution process.
- Format: A combination of alphanumeric characters (e.g., ST-20250101-01)
- Purpose: To uniquely identify and track each ticket for future reference or audits.
2. Timestamp
Each support ticket must include the date and time when the ticket was created, as well as subsequent updates.
- Ticket Creation Date/Time: Record the initial timestamp when the ticket is created.
- Update Timestamps: Record timestamps for each status change or update to the ticket.
- Purpose: To track the duration of each ticket, from creation to closure, and ensure timely responses.
3. User Information
Record details about the user submitting the inquiry. This includes contact information for easy follow-up and understanding of the issue’s origin.
- User Name: Full name of the user submitting the ticket.
- User Email: Email address for follow-up communication.
- User Phone Number (Optional): For urgent or complex issues requiring direct contact.

Provide a detailed description of the issue or inquiry raised by the user. This should include:
- Issue Summary: A brief overview of the problem or inquiry.
- Detailed Description: Any relevant context, screenshots, attachments, or steps to reproduce the issue (if applicable).
- Purpose: To clarify the nature of the inquiry and provide all necessary information for resolving the issue.
5. Ticket Priority
The priority of the support ticket should be clearly marked, categorizing tickets based on their urgency. Common priority levels include:
- Low: Non-urgent issues or general inquiries.
- Medium: Issues requiring timely resolution, but not critical.
- High: Critical issues affecting the user’s ability to use the service.
- Urgent: Immediate attention required, often impacting multiple users or system functionality.
- Purpose: To help prioritize ticket handling based on severity and urgency.
6. Assigned Team Member
Each ticket must have an assigned support team member responsible for resolving the issue. The employee’s name or team designation should be recorded in the log.
- Assigned Support Staff: Full name of the employee or team handling the ticket.
- Purpose: To ensure accountability and track the team members responsible for resolving specific issues.
7. Ticket Status
The status of each support ticket must be continuously updated throughout its lifecycle. Typical status categories include:
- Open: Ticket is created but not yet addressed.
- In Progress: The ticket is being actively worked on by the support team.
- Resolved: The issue has been addressed and resolved.
- Closed: The ticket has been resolved and closed after verification or user confirmation.
- On Hold: The ticket is temporarily suspended, pending further information or external resolution.
- Purpose: To provide a clear overview of where each ticket stands and whether it is actively being addressed or awaiting resolution.
8. Resolution Summary
Once a ticket has been resolved, a resolution summary should be documented, describing how the issue was fixed or answered.
- Resolution Details: Step-by-step explanation of the solution, including any actions taken, workarounds implemented, or instructions provided to the user.
- Purpose: To create a record of how each ticket was resolved for future reference or if similar issues arise.

- Follow-up Date/Time: Date and time for any scheduled follow-up.
- Feedback/Notes: Any additional feedback provided by the user or team post-resolution.
- Purpose: To ensure continued support or confirm that the user is satisfied with the resolution.

All documents, screenshots, logs, or files related to the ticket should be attached or referenced in the ticket log.
- File Attachments: Screenshots, error logs, configuration files, etc.
- References: Links to any related knowledge base articles or previous tickets.
- Purpose: To ensure that all related documentation is easily accessible for future reference and problem-solving.
