Act 3: Day-to-Day Operations

16. Support Tickets

Story

When employees face HR or system-related problems, Sarah encourages them to create support tickets instead of relying on scattered emails or chats.

This keeps communication organized, trackable, and easier for support teams to manage until every issue is resolved properly.

Happy Path

Support requests move through a structured workflow where employees and support staff can communicate clearly until issues are resolved.

  • Employees submit tickets with category, priority, and issue details
  • Support teams respond and update ticket progress
  • Employees receive notifications when replies or status changes occur
  • Tickets move to resolved status once issues are completed
  • Optional file attachments provide additional issue context
  • Resolved tickets remain searchable for future reference
