Create or modify stages
=======================
*Stages* are used to organize the *Helpdesk* pipeline and track the progress of tickets. Stages are
customizable, and can be renamed to fit the needs of each team.
.. important::
:ref:`Developer mode <developer-mode>` **must** be activated to access the stages menu. To
activate developer mode, go to :menuselection:`Settings app --> General Settings --> Developer
Tools`, and click :guilabel:`Activate the developer mode`.
To view or modify *Helpdesk* stages, go to :menuselection:`Helpdesk app --> Configuration -->
Stages`.
The default list view on the :guilabel:`Stages` page displays the stages currently available in
*Helpdesk*. They are listed in the order they appear in the pipeline.
To change the order of the stages, click the :icon:`oi-draggable` :guilabel:`(drag)` icon, to the
left of the stage name, and drag it to the desired place on the list.

.. tip::
Change the stage order on the Kanban view of a *Helpdesk* team's pipeline by dragging and
dropping individual columns.
To create a new stage, click the :guilabel:`New` button at the top-left of the stage list. Doing so
reveals a blank stage form.
Choose a :guilabel:`Name` for the new stage, and add a description, if desired. Then, proceed to
fill out the remaining fields following the steps below.

Add email and SMS templates to stages
-------------------------------------
When an :guilabel:`Email Template` is added to a stage, an email is automatically sent to the
customer when a ticket reaches that specific stage in the pipeline. Likewise, adding an
:guilabel:`SMS Template` triggers an SMS text message to send to the customer.
.. important::
SMS Text Messaging is an :doc:`In-App Purchase (IAP) </applications/essentials/in_app_purchase/>`
service that requires prepaid credits to work. Refer to `SMS Pricing FAQ
<https://iap-services.odoo.com/iap/sms/pricing>`_ for additional information.
To select an existing email template, select it from the :guilabel:`Email Template` field. Click on
the :icon:`oi-arrow-right` :guilabel:`(right arrow)` icon to the right of the field to edit the
chosen template.
To create a new template, click the field, and enter a title for the new template. Then, select
:guilabel:`Create and edit` from the drop-down menu that appears, and complete the form details.
Follow the same steps to select, edit, or create an :guilabel:`SMS Template`.

Assign stages to a team
-----------------------
Make a selection in the :guilabel:`Helpdesk Teams` field on the :guilabel:`Stages` form. More than
one team may be selected, since the same stage can be assigned to multiple teams.
Fold a stage
------------
By default, stages are unfolded in the Kanban view of either tickets dashboard: :guilabel:`My
Tickets` (:menuselection:`Helpdesk app --> Tickets --> My Tickets`) or :guilabel:`All Tickets`
(:menuselection:`Helpdesk app --> Tickets --> All Tickets`).
Tickets in an unfolded stage are visible in the pipeline under the stage name, and are considered
*open*.
Stages can be configured to be folded in the Kanban view of a tickets page (:guilabel:`My Tickets`
or :guilabel:`All Tickets`).
The name of the folded stages are still visible, though the tickets in the stage are no longer
immediately visible.
To fold a stage, check the :guilabel:`Folded in Kanban` box on the :guilabel:`Stages` form.
.. warning::
Tickets that reach a *folded* stage are considered *closed*. Closing a ticket before the work is
completed can result in reporting and communication issues. This setting should **only** be
enabled for stages that are considered *closing* stages.
Stages can be temporarily folded in the Kanban view of the tickets pipeline, as well.
View a specific team's pipeline by navigating to :menuselection:`Helpdesk app`, and clicking the
team's Kanban card.
Select a stage to fold temporarily, then click the :icon:`fa-gear` :guilabel:`(gear)` icon, and
select :guilabel:`Fold` from the drop-down menu.

Manually folding a stage from the Kanban view is temporary and does **not** close the tickets in
the stage.
