Ticket statuses

Open, Pending and Resolved, and what each one means for who is waiting.

StatusMeans
OpenIt is with us. Either it is new, or you replied last.
PendingWe have answered and it is waiting on you.
ResolvedClosed.

Status follows whoever spoke last

You do not set it. Writing a message makes a ticket Open; our reply makes it Pending.

Replying to a resolved ticket re-opens it

You never need to open a new ticket to follow up on an old one. Reply to the original and it comes straight back to us with all its history.

Marking your own ticket resolved

If you sorted it out yourself, you can close it. Replying later still re-opens it.

Priority

Tickets carry a priority that we set while triaging. It is not something you choose, and a normal priority does not mean the ticket is ignored.
