Merge Tickets

There are times when people submit multiple tickets for the same issue, and in these cases, merging them together is the best solution.

Common scenarios to merge

  • The requestor created tickets for the same request through both email and TD.
  • The requestor repeatedly created tickets for the same request in TD but to different applications/emails.
  • The requestor called and left a voicemail and then submitted a ticket online.
  • The requestor created a new ticket to follow up on a previous ticket that is assigned, in progress, resolved, or closed.

To merge tickets, follow these steps 

1. Determine if there is an original ticket
2. Find the original ticket
3. Determine which ticket should be kept as the main ticket
4. Copy the main ticket's ID number
5. Merge the sub-ticket into the main ticket

When tickets are merged 

  • The main ticket will appear as normal.
  • The merged ticket will no longer have its own location. It will appear in the main ticket feed as below.
