Dispatch Board: Dispatch Window

The dispatch window opens when you drag a ticket from the ticket panel onto a technician's time slot in the timeline. It displays key ticket information and allows you to assign technicians and set scheduling details before confirming the dispatch.

The top of the dispatch window displays the ticket's Description, Customer, Severity, Priority, Response SLA Deadline, Resolution SLA Deadline, and Address. Click the external link icon next to the address to open it in a map.

Each field in the dispatch window is defined below.
