⚠️ Important: Department Assignment

Agents must be assigned to at least one department.
  • If an agent is not assigned to any department, they will not see any tickets
  • Departments determine which tickets an agent can access and manage
💡 Always assign the correct departments to ensure proper ticket visibility.
