The Ticketing tab contains functions related to the built in trouble ticketing system. The trouble ticketing system sends email alerts to designated administrators and users on ticket creation, changes, and resolutions. The system organized trouble tickets by machine ID. All trouble tickets must be assigned to a machine ID. You may wish to create extra machine accounts to hold trouble tickets of a global nature, such as general network problems.
