== Admins/Agents ==
Volunteers that have Freshdesk access are called 'agents' in the vocabulary of Freshdesk, they act as the administrators for the system.
===Trouble Tickets===
===Trouble Tickets===
A 'trouble ticket' or 'ticket' or 'case' is one assigned a number and appears in a queue until a volunteer sees it and acts on it. The volunteer can reply directly to the 'customer', or forward it to another 'agent' and there are automation features in Freshdesk that do complicated things but that feature is not very well explored, yet.

== Known Issues ==
Currently, there is no good way for a non-agent (a regular member) to access the Freshdesk ticket directly, although there is language in the email they receive that make it seem like it might be something they could or should do. Regular members must interact with Freshdesk by replying to the emails they receive.
