Sub-tickets allow complex issues to be divided and worked on in parallel.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Sub-tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Sub-tickets are useful when a single customer issue requires input from multiple teams. For example, a product defect report might generate sub-tickets for the engineering team, quality assurance, and customer communication, all tracked under one parent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Sub-ticket and Parent Ticket Relationship<\/h2>\n<p>The parent ticket provides overall context and tracks progress at a high level. Each sub-ticket has its own status, assignee, and SLA. When all sub-tickets are closed, the parent can be closed automatically based on workflow configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Status Tracking Across Sub-tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Agents assigned to a sub-ticket can update their progress independently. Managers can view all sub-tickets from the parent ticket view to understand overall resolution progress without checking each ticket individually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A manufacturing company receives a complaint about a faulty shipment. The support team creates sub-tickets for warehouse investigation, courier coordination, and replacement dispatch. Each team works on their sub-ticket independently while the customer sees one unified parent ticket.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/parent-ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Parent Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/linked-ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Linked Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/merge-tickets-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Merge Tickets<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is a Sub-ticket in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A sub-ticket (child ticket) is a ticket created under a parent ticket to handle a specific part of a larger issue.
