The impact of a ticket is how much of a problem it is creating for your customer.

Your system will start with Impact levels of:

• Low
• Medium
• High

These can be edited, renamed or added to in order to as necessary.

Adding

Adding an impact will allow you to give it a unique name and numeric score. 

Name - The name you give your Impact.

Internal Note - A non-customer visible note that helps you remember what this impact is used for.

Score - A numeric value for this impact. The higher the score, the higher the impact. This lets you sort by the Impact field in ticket lists. The Priority field is created by multiplying the Impact score by the Urgency score.

Status - As with most options you will find within your settings you will have the ability to toggle it to inactive for any settings you don’t currently require but don’t want to delete. You never know when they might come in handy in the future. 

Editing

To edit an Impact view it on the list of Impacts then click on the right hand edit pencil, once you have made the changes you want to simply save them.

Using Impacts

When you or your customer are creating a ticket, there is a field "Impact" and this is where a customer will decide how much of an impact this ticket is for their business operations.  By using the dropdown they can select one of the already programmed urgencies or one created by you:

Changing an Impact in a ticket.
