- Phase: During a ticket life-cycle, the ticket passes through different phases. Based on its progression the ticket can loop back to a previous phase. The phase definitions differ based on the ticket type.
- Status: Status refers to the current stage of the ticket in its life-cycle. They can be New, Queued, Active, Pending, Complete, Resolve-Validation, Resolved, Closed. Fixed ticket statuses cannot be modified. A ticket can move from one status to another - not necessarily in a specific order.
- Reason Code: Reason code is used to assign a reason why a ticket is in a given status or phase. For example, a ticket could be set into pending status for several reasons, such as Pending Customer, Pending Vendor, Pending Information.
A combination of the ticket status and reason code is used to manage the workflow actions available and manage the ticket progression. As a ticket progresses, it grows to include activities toward resolving, fulfilling, and closing the request. Ticket progression also includes manual, automatic actions, and communications to and from the ticket. The administrator can configure different workflow actions to be available on the ticket to control the progression of the ticket.
