Categories allow to classify trouble tickets to the Support center, facilitate their processing and provide quicker assistance to customers. When creating a ticket to the Support center (see the Active tickets module), the customers can choose a category related to their problem, such as "Finance" or "Marketing". Depending on the selected category, the ticket will be assigned to a responsible administrator who will be in charge for the issue.

This module can be used to manage these categories: you can add a new category, edit and delete the existing one, specify additional parameters, and assign responsible departments. You can also set up so called ticket weight to specify its priority for the technical support staff.
