Getting Started
===============
Helpdesk teams provide your customers with support to queries or errors they might encounter while
using your product/service. Therefore, a successful scheme where you can organize multiple teams
with their customized pipeline, visibilities settings, and ticket traceability is essential.
Set up teams
============
| To modify or create teams, go to :menuselection:`Helpdesk --> Configuration --> Helpdesk Teams`.
| Setting up multiple teams allows you to group tickets by your channels (example: BE/US), or by
your support services' types (example: IT, accounting, admin, etc.).

Teams productivity and visibility
----------------------------------
Teams can have individual *Assignment Methods* to ensure that tickets get redirected to the right
person:
- *Manually*: tickets are manually assigned, allowing employees to manage their own workload and
target tickets they are experts at;
- *Random*: tickets are randomly assigned and everyone gets the same amount. This method ensures
that all tickets are handled as the assignment happens automatically;
- *Balanced*: tickets are assigned to the person with the least amount of tickets so that everyone
fairly gets the same amount. Thereby, you ensure that all tickets get to be taken care of.

| For the *Random* and *Balanced* assignment methods, you can set the *Team Members* among
whom tickets are assigned. Leave the field empty to include all employees (with the proper
access rights).
| The *Team Visibility* feature allows you to specify who can see and access the teams tickets.
Therefore, tickets with sensible information are only seen by the right people.

Set up stages and share it among teams
======================================
To set up stages, go to :menuselection:`Helpdesk --> Configuration --> Stages`. Then, create and/or
edit stages as you need and set specific teams to use certain stages under *Team*.

Stages can be shared between one or multiple teams, allowing you to adapt the pipeline to your
individual needs. They also apply a visibility and access rule, as other teams are not able to see
or use the stage.
