Merge Tickets

Examples of Merging Tickets with NinjaOne

Here are some scenarios where merging tickets can be particularly beneficial:

  • Duplicate Issues from Different Users: When multiple users report the same issue, such as a server outage or a widespread software bug, merging these tickets can centralize the troubleshooting process and provide a unified response to all affected users.
  • Related Issues for the Same Client: A single client may submit several related requests or issues. For example, a client might have multiple requests stemming from a single hardware failure. Merging these tickets allows the technician to address all aspects of the issue in a consolidated manner.
  • Multi-Tiered Support Escalations: Sometimes, a ticket may be escalated through different tiers of support, with each tier adding new notes and insights. Merging these tickets ensures that all relevant information follows the issue through each level of escalation, providing a comprehensive history for resolution.
