Understanding Ticket Statuses

Every ticket you submit moves through a clear, predictable set of stages. Here's exactly what each status means, what our team is doing at that moment, and what - if anything - we need from you.

✦

Fewer statuses, clearer ownership

With the new portal, we've reduced the number of customer-facing ticket statuses. Each status now tells you at a glance who owns the next step on your ticket - our team or you - so you always know whether we're working on it or waiting on your input.

New Just submitted

Your ticket has been received and is in the queue. Our team has been notified and will pick it up shortly. No action is needed from you at this stage - sit tight.

In Progress Being worked on

A member of our team has picked up your ticket and is actively working on it. Depending on complexity, this may involve investigation, coordination with other teams, or hands-on work in the system. You'll be notified if we need anything from you.

Pending Information Action needed

We've reached out because we need more information, a decision, or clarification from you before we can continue. Please check the ticket comments and respond as soon as you can - the sooner we hear back, the sooner we can move forward.

On Hold Temporarily paused

Work on this ticket has been temporarily paused because it's waiting on something outside the normal flow. That can be on our side - a third party, a scheduled maintenance window or a dependency from another team - or on yours, such as a business decision or an action from your internal IT team. The ticket comments will make clear what it's waiting on, and we'll update you as soon as it resumes.
