Departments
Overview
Departments represent the teams within your support organisation that handle customer complaints. By routing each complaint to the appropriate department, you ensure the right staff receive and act on it promptly. Typical departments for an ISP include Technical, Billing, and Sales, but you can create as many as your business requires.
Creating a Department
Navigate to Complaints → Departments and click Add Department.
Fill in the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A short, descriptive label for the department (e.g. Technical Support). |
| Description | An optional explanation of what this department handles (e.g. Handles all network connectivity and hardware issues). |
Click Save to create the department. It will immediately become available when creating or editing complaints.
Editing a Department
On the Departments list page, click the Edit icon next to the department you want to change. Update the name or description as needed and click Save.
Deleting a Department
Click the Delete icon next to the department. A confirmation prompt will appear. Departments that are referenced by existing complaints cannot be deleted until those complaints are reassigned or removed.
How Departments Are Used
When a complaint is created, the operator selects a department to route it to. This makes it easy to filter the complaint list by department and ensures each team sees only the tickets relevant to them. Reports can also be broken down by department to show workload distribution across your support teams.
