Odoo, a popular open-source business management software, offers a powerful Helpdesk module to streamline customer support operations. One of the key features of the Odoo 16 Helpdesk module is ticket assignment and visibility, which play a significant role in optimizing support workflows.

In this blog post, we will explore how the Odoo 16 Helpdesk module enables ticket assignment and enhances visibility, ultimately leading to improved customer service. 

Understanding the Odoo 16 Helpdesk module

The Odoo Helpdesk module is designed to help businesses manage customer inquiries, support requests, and tickets efficiently. It provides a centralized platform where customer support teams can track, prioritize, and resolve customer issues. With Odoo 16, the Helpdesk module has undergone significant improvements, making it even more user-friendly and feature-rich.

The effective use of ticket assignment and enhanced visibility in the Odoo 16s Helpdesk module offers numerous benefits for businesses.

We must first configure a team before we can set visibility. So we can go to the Helpdesk module. For configuring the team, let us click on the Configuration tab. Under this, we can view the ‘Team’ as shown in the screenshot below.

In the Team window, you can see the records of previously created Teams with their essential details, such as Name, Email Alias, and Company.

To view the details, let us open the Customer Care team, under which you can view the information shown below.

Here, you can view the section named ‘Assignment & Visibility’, under which you will get options to configure assignment and visibility. The Visibility field allows you to set the people to whom this helpdesk team and its tickets will be visible. Here you have three options, such as ‘Invited internal users’, All internal users, Invited portal users and all internal users’. 

* Internal users who have been invited can view the team and the tickets they are following. This access can be altered on an individual ticket basis by adding or removing the user as a follower. 

A user with the helpdesk administrator access right level can still access this team and its ticket, even if they are not explicitly part of the followers. 

* All internal users: All internal users can access the team and all of its tickets without distinction. 

* Invited portal users and all internal users: all internal users can access the team and all of its tickets without distinction. Portal users can only access the tickets they are following. This access can be modified on each ticket individually by adding or removing the portal user as follower. 

The visibility field helps you grant employees access to your helpdesk team or tickets by adding them as followers. Let us discuss it in more detail. 

After setting the visibility ‘invited internal users’, create an internal user. For that, you can go to Settings. In Settings, you can manage the users. Here, we can choose Marc Demo as a user.

Once it is done, go back to the Helpdesk module and need to generate tickets. Here, we can generate a ticket ‘Table legs are unbalanced,’ and the team associated with the ticket is mentioned in the ‘Team’ field. The assignee is marked in the ‘Assigned to’ field. The priority can be marked as medium, high, or urgent. The type of ticket can be defined and allocated in the Type field. Here, we can mention it as ‘Issue’. Additionally, the Tags can be given for filtration needs. Using the Property field, you can add the field that you want to include.

If you are required to include the customer's details in the ticket, they can be provided in the Customer field. It is also possible to add Email, Phone, Email cc, in the provided field. Additionally, you have the Sale Order Item, Analytic Account, and Product fields to fill in the details. 

When you scroll down, you will see an option to add followers.How to Enable Ticket Assignments in Odoo 16 Helpdesk App-cybrosys

Now we can log out of Marc Demo and Log in as Mitchel Admin. Again, we can create a new user other than the internal user. So, for that, we need to set him up as a public user. In order to do this, let us create a new user. For that, let us open  Settings and create a new user.

This is because the user ‘ Laurio Pierot’ is not a follower of this ticket. After confirming this, let us log out of this user and log in as ‘Mitchel Admin.’ The next step is to change the visibility. For that, let us go to the Helpdesk module and open the Team window from Configuration. Here, under Visibility, we can set the visibility as ‘All internal users’. So the ticket can be visible to all internal users.
