Service Desk

Service Desk

The Decuga Service Desk provides a full ticket management system for handling customer support requests, bug reports, and feature enquiries — without a separate helpdesk subscription. Available on Pro and above.

Unlimited reporters / customers — only your internal team members count toward the plan seat limit. Your helpdesk user base never inflates your bill.

Ticket management

Create, assign, and track support tickets with full status and priority control.

Public customer portal

A branded self-service portal where customers submit and track their tickets.

SLA tracking

Define SLA rules per priority and get breach alerts before deadlines are missed.

Company accounts

Group reporters by company for B2B support relationship management.

PM task linking

Link any ticket to a sprint task for end-to-end traceability.

Analytics

Track ticket volumes, response times, and resolution rates on Business plan.

Ticket management

Each service desk ticket belongs to a project. Tickets are created either by agents directly in the dashboard, by customers through the public portal, or via helpdesk intake forms.

Title

A clear, one-line description of the issue or request.

Description

Full detail of the issue, steps to reproduce, or request context. Supports markdown formatting.

Type

Bug, Feature Request, Question, or Other — helps route and filter tickets.

Priority

Critical, High, Medium, or Low. Used to determine SLA timers.

Status

Open, In Progress, On Hold, Resolved, or Closed. Updated by agents.

Assignee

A project member responsible for resolving the ticket.

Reporter

The contact or customer who raised the ticket.

Company

(Business) The company account associated with the reporter.

Linked task

A linked PM sprint task. Provides full traceability from report to fix.

Attachments

Files, screenshots, or logs attached to the ticket for context.

Ticket statuses

Open

Newly created ticket, not yet assigned or in progress.

In Progress

An agent is actively working on this ticket.

Resolved

The issue has been addressed. Reporter can reopen.

Closed

Ticket is fully closed. No further action expected.

On Hold

Waiting on reporter response or external dependency.

Customers who submitted tickets via the public portal see their ticket status in real time. No manual update emails required.

Priorities & SLA

Ticket priority controls urgency and, on Business plan, triggers SLA timers. SLA rules define the maximum time allowed from ticket creation to first response and resolution.

Critical

System down or data loss. Immediate response required.

High

Major functionality broken. Urgent resolution needed.

Medium

Significant issue with a workaround available.

Low

Minor inconvenience. Resolved in normal course.

SLA rules, breach alerts, and SLA analytics are available on the Business plan. Pro plan shows priorities without automated SLA enforcement.

Reporters & contacts

A Reporteris the contact who raised a ticket. Reporters are separate from Decuga account users — they do not need a Decuga login. Reporters are stored in your project's contact list and can be associated with multiple tickets.

When a customer submits a ticket via the public portal, Decuga automatically creates a reporter record from their email. Agents can also create reporter records manually.

Name

The reporter's display name.

Email

Primary contact email. Used to link portal submissions to the reporter record.

Company

(Business) Associate the reporter with a company account.

Tickets

All tickets raised by this reporter, visible from their contact page.

Company accounts

Company accounts group reporters from the same organisation. This is essential for B2B support — see all tickets from a single customer at a glance, understand your relationship with each client, and track which companies generate the most support load.

Company accounts are a Business plan feature. Pro plan supports individual reporter contacts without company grouping.
Company name

The name of the client organisation.

Domain

Email domain used to auto-associate new reporters to the company.

Contacts

All reporters associated with this company.

Open tickets

Count of unresolved tickets across all contacts in the company.

Linking tickets to PM tasks

Every ticket can be linked to one or more sprint tasks in the same project. This creates a traceable connection from a customer-reported issue to the engineering work that resolves it.

What linking provides

  • Engineers see the customer's original ticket context directly on the task.
  • Support agents see the task status (In Progress, Done) on the ticket.
  • Analytics track the ratio of linked tickets — a measure of how well support and engineering are connected.
  • When a task ships to Done, agents are notified and can resolve the linked ticket.

To link a ticket, open the ticket detail panel, click Link to task, and search for any task in the project. Linking works in both directions — you can also link from the task detail panel.

Service desk analytics

Service desk analytics are available on the Business plan and provide visibility into support team performance and ticket health.

Ticket volume

Total tickets created over a time period, broken down by type and priority.

Open vs resolved

Current ratio of open to resolved tickets across the project.

Avg first response

Average time from ticket creation to the first agent reply.

Avg resolution time

Average time from creation to resolution across all closed tickets.

SLA compliance

Percentage of tickets resolved within their SLA target. Business only.

By assignee

Ticket volume and resolution rate broken down by agent.

Linked ticket ratio

Percentage of tickets linked to PM tasks — traceability metric.

Customer portal

The customer portal is a public-facing page where customers can submit tickets, check the status of their existing tickets, and interact with helpdesk intake forms — without needing a Decuga account.

See the Helpdesk Portal documentation for full setup instructions, form configuration, and portal customisation options.
