Conversation between a user and her support team
The following is based on actual events that occurred between a user and her application support team
Background: The application support team has an internal ticketing system where users would login and submit their request for assistance. The requests will then be saved and assigned a tracking number and await pickup by a support team member. Sometimes in their busy day, support team may ask a user to reiterate what their requests or issues are about, since it is quicker then having to login to the ticketing system and search for the ticket number and read up. The blue highlighted text is a link to the ticketing system.
