Printing a ticket

About the print view

The Ticket Print View is a report about the ticket you are currently viewing. The following features are supported:

• The print view supports the display of all sections selected for the ticket category.
• The print view respects all security level permissions that apply to the Ticket page, including the Render all Tickets as Ticket Category settings.
• Each user can select which available sections and items to display in Print View, and individual user settings are remembered from the last time a print view was opened.
• A Customer Sign-Off check box both hides internal information and displays a Customer Sign-Off section and a signatory line.
• The print view supports the display of Rich Text. For important information and compatibility details about the Rich Text feature, refer to The Rich Text editor.
