HappyFox's New Ticket Creation Form helps you take feedback/support-tickets from your customers. This form is displayed by default in your support center. You can access this page at yourcompanyname.happyfox.com/new. This form consists of two components - ticket fields & contact fields:

• Ticket fields are those fields that relate to the customer's query or feedback.
• Contact Fields are those fields which are related to the customer who is raising the ticket.

This article explains how to customize the end-user new ticket form. Agents can create tickets on behalf of customers using the new ticket form present at the agent portal. Learn more about Agent Portal's new ticket form here.
