Filter by custom fields

We can search for tickets by contact and ticket custom fields

Format of specifying custom fields in search

 

• If the custom field name has only one word <name of the field>: “value” - do not enclose the field name in quotes
• If the custom field name has multiple words “<name of the field>”:”value” - enclose the field name in quotes “field_name”:”value”
• Custom field name and value should be enclosed in quotes separately.
• Name and value should be separated by a colon (:)
• No space after the colon separator
• Field names and values are not case sensitive
• Multiple fields should be separated by space
• For dropdown and multiple choice fields, the values are the option labels
• For multiple choice fields - each option is given in quotes and the options are separated by commas

 

Examples

• text field: /tickets/?q="Enterprise Company Name":"enterprise company"

• dropdown: /tickets/?q="Team Name":"arsenal"

• multiple choice: /tickets/?q="Country":"finland","germany"

• date field: /tickets/?q="Date Field":"08/23/2019"

• number field: /tickets/?q="Number Field":"300"

• multiple fields: /tickets/?q=Field1:"value1" "Field2":"value 2"

• Filtering with contact and custom fields:  /tickets/?q=contact:"james@happyfox.com" "Product Name":"Helpdesk"

Sorting list of tickets

• Default sorting - last updated based on contact/agent reply in descending order.
• If we search tickets, the sort order is always by relevance and last updated descending.

• categorya - sort by category ascending
• categoryd - sort by category descending
