    • Customer Information (in Ticket)

    • Priority

    Note: Customer information modified and stored within the Ticket Summary is applicable to the individual ticket only (Customer Information In Ticket). This information is not related to customer profile information stored in the ATG customer repository and can not be used for a customer search. See Customer Management - Customer Information for more information about customer profile information.

The Ticket Summary information is saved, a ticket identification number is created, and the Ticket Summary is redisplayed in read-only view.
