The ticket’s been created! Now it can be filled with the necessary info: add tags, description, assign workers, calculate expenses, attach a file if needed and leave a comment for your colleagues.

To fill every field of a ticket, click “+” next to the field name and enter the necessary info:

 

 

The creator of the ticket is its owner and editor by default. That can be changed if necessary. To do so, click the creator’s icon and choose another member of the staff from the list.

Tasks

To add a worker to the ticket, press “+” on the right from Tasks, choose the worker’s role and enter the first letters of their name or surname. Fill in the fee and set a suggested deadline.

The freelancer will get an email with link for uploading. After completing the task they’ll be able to upload the document via the link*, after which the document will appear as a ticket attachment.

*Maximum file size is 100 mb.

Each role has an assigned emoji which helps track the tickets’ progress: red circle stands for missed deadlines, green one — for completed tasks, no circle — for active tasks. Hover your cursor over the emoji and you’ll see the name and the role of the assigned worker.

A completed task can be marked with difficulty level which helps evaluating the time spent on the task:

All members of the ticket get a notification regarding completed tasks after the responsible person marks it finished.

Here’s what a filled ticket looks like:
