Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your org is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.]. (2-3 sentences)

When you have a Problem ticket, you can click into the Incidents window to see all of the related Incidents to the Problem. We would like the ability to change the columns showing in that window (Ex: add the organization column so we can easily see where the tickets are sourcing from). 

 

What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences) 

This would save our team leads time by being able to quickly gather relavant information rather than needing to click into each ticket. 

 

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)

This is only an issue when we get Problem tickets. I would say maybe 1-2x month. 

 

Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)

Yes, we are clicking into each ticket to find the information we need and putting it down somewhere else so we can compare tickets. 

 

What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)

We would like the Incidents view to function as a regular view with the ability to update the columns, sort, and group. Totally fine if it is only accessible via admin.

+1 Agree, customising these views should be a standard function not a special request.

Hello!

The request is to enhance the Problem ticket's Incidents window by allowing users to customize the displayed columns, specifically to add the organization column, which currently isn't visible. This affects team leads who need to quickly understand the origin of related incidents. This lack of functionality occurs 1-2 times a month TxTag org when Problem tickets arise, requiring manual review of each incident. The ideal solution is to make the Incidents view customizable like a regular view, enabling column selection, sorting, and grouping, potentially with admin-level access.

We also have the same use case & workaround. And this feature request would such a great update since we work on a lot of Problem tickets every month and manually checking each ticket just to see the impacted account is really time consuming

Our team frequently handles Problem tickets that link to multiple related Incidents. Currently, when we click into the Incidents window within a Problem ticket, we are unable to customize the columns displayed. This limitation forces team leads to open each individual Incident to retrieve key details, significantly slowing down our workflows.

 

Proposed Enhancement:
Allow users to customize the columns visible in the Incidents window of a Problem ticket—similar to how column customization is available in other ticket views.

 

Benefits:

  1. Improved Efficiency:
    By surfacing key information (e.g., assignee last updated), team leads can quickly assess the status and response history of related Incidents at a glance—without needing to open each one individually.
  2. Better Bulk Reply Management:
    This enhancement is especially important for managing bulk replies. Currently, we have no way to determine from the Incident list view who has already received a bulk reply. Since ticket status (like “Open”) can change after a reply is sent, it’s not a reliable indicator. Having a visible “assignee updated” or reply status column would address this gap.
  3. Time Savings and Scalability:
    We handle Problem tickets on a weekly basis, each associated with a large number of Incidents. Over time, the manual process of opening each ticket to retrieve data adds up to significant lost time. Enabling column customization would streamline incident triage and reduce cognitive load for our team leads.

Conclusion:
Enabling customizable columns in the Incidents window of Problem tickets would enhance usability, reduce manual effort, and directly support scalable incident management. This is a small interface change with a large productivity impact.
