ticket system
Support request tracker
A ticket system is a method for tracking requests, issues, or tasks by assigning each one a unique identifier—the ticket.
Most commonly used in customer support and IT help desks: Submit a ticket and someone will get back to you.
Each ticket moves through stages from open to resolved, creating an organized queue and paper trail.
The term extends to any workflow where problems are logged, assigned, and tracked to completion.
