 Glossary

• Navigator – Region to the left where menus, favorites, and dashboards are located.
• Favorite – Saved query which results either in a list of tickets,  a list of tickets in a view, or a chart.
• Dashboard – Combination of charts to provide a visual description of related information.
• Queue – is a set of related data, usually analogous to a table.  For example, "Incidents Requests" are in one queue. In the system, these happen to be stored in the same table.
• View – is a specially formatted subset of data WITHIN a queue.  It can have specific criteria or filter, sort order, grouping, and so on.  For example, you could have one view with open incidents created by a team and sorted by assignee, or  a view of tickets recently closed in the last week.
• Template – is what was formerly called the "quick ticket"  It's a saved preloaded set of service model info, assignment, description, and resolution to be used to make creating and submitting routine tickets faster.
