The ticket board doesn't include Customer and Contact info

[zachallen]

We are in the process of implementing the Service Hub.  In testing out managing groups of tickets, we quickly found that there's no customer or contact visible on the ticket board window.  There's no available customer or contact field availible to be added, either.  Furthermore, I can't filter the tickets by customer by searching the ticket board by customer name.  

I realize I can click into the ticket to view the customer or I can open a specific customer and find a list of their tickets..  However, if I'm managing a large group of tickets, I need to have visibility of which customers are contacting our Support Dept.  

I was given a workaround to copy the contact info into the description of the ticket via a workflow.  This, also, isn't a solution.  When I view the ticket from the ticket board, all I see is the contact info, which makes the description not visible since I can't change the width of the Description column.  

Our company needs to have visibility of the customer linked to the ticket at the ticket board level.  We manage customer service contracts and requiring each ticket to be clicked into to see this information prior to a Support Rep starting on the ticket is simply not feasible.  

Our company considered Zendesk for managing service tickets, but their model seems to be more based on supporting consumers.  HubSpot is supposed to be the business to business solution.  I'm hoping to hear this functionality will be added soon so we can efficiently support these businesses.

Hey Zachallen,

Did you ever submit this idea to the Hubspot Ideas portal? I am new to the community forum interface, so I'd happily upvote this if there was a place where I should. I've already upvoted your original post here.

Sincerely,

The ticket board includes the Associated Contact and Associated Company now.  So, this has been solved.

Tickets in my board does not show such info. How do I configure it?

Hi @DMarjamäki,

You can edit the columns on your tickets board to include additional fields.

I hope this helps!

Best,

Kristen

Thanks! I found that now. So I can add a column in the list view. That is good. But in the board view I don't see any way to add the company name to the ticket cards.

Hi @DMarjamäki,

You're very welcome! 

You are correct. The properties on a ticket card can be customized, however, these fields must be ticket properties. You can read more about how to customize the ticket cards here.

I would recommend associating the company with the ticket so it shows up on the ticket card in the board view.

Best,

Kristen

Hey,

I wasn't sure if that represented a fix for this idea or not. My company would still have the desire to customize the tooltip further because the icons aren't as informative as actual text, for instance. I may go look at other submitted ideas, or submit an idea from scratch.

it is crucial for our business. 
And as I see it, you already have the software in the deal-stages view - so I think it won't take serveral ours to implement this feature 😞

I called Support looking for a solution to this very problem today.  Having to search by name instead of popping into the pipeline is a time killer.  Please add this ASAP.

 Excellent suggestions. You may wish to add them to a new or existing thread in HubSpot Ideas.

You'll typically get much more traction from the HubSpot Community AND the Ideas Forum is where HubSpot Product Teams monitor suggestions for popularity -- i.e., VOTES! 🙂

Hope that helps.

There's no "Service" category for Ideas.  I was thinking the new Service Hub community forum was the best place to provide feedback, requirements, and have discussions.  We can start using Ideas, but we'll also open support tickets for the urgent issues.

Thanks!

We would definitely like to see at least the "Associated with" column, like in Deals
