Ticket Classification

Ticket classification in Zoho Desk categorises support requests by type such as Billing or Technical, enabling smarter routing and trend analysis.

Ticket classification in Zoho Desk is the process of categorising tickets by type, such as Billing, Technical, Feature Request, or General Inquiry. Classification helps route tickets correctly, generate accurate reports, and identify recurring issues.

Classification Fields in Zoho Desk

Zoho Desk provides built-in fields like Type and Sub-Type for classification. Administrators can customise these lists to reflect the company’s specific support categories. For example, a telecom company might use categories like Network, Billing, Device, and Activation.

Impact on Routing and Reporting

Classification drives assignment rules that route tickets to the right team. A ticket classified as ‘Billing’ goes to the finance support team, while ‘Technical’ tickets go to the engineering support desk. Reports can then show volume and resolution times by category.

Using Classification to Spot Trends

When a product update causes a spike in ‘Login Issues’ tickets, classification data surfaces this trend immediately. Support managers can alert the product team and create a knowledge base article to reduce incoming ticket volume.

Example: A retail company in Delhi classifies tickets as Delivery, Returns, Payments, and Product Queries. Over three months, reports show 40% of tickets are Delivery-related, prompting them to add more FAQs and a tracking integration.
