Viewing and updating intelligent triage classifications in tickets

The ticket properties panel within a ticket shows the intelligent triage classifications. From here, you can change a ticket's topic, language, or sentiment if the original classification isn't accurate.

Tip: If you expect to see intelligent triage classifications on tickets but don't, see Why didn't intelligent triage add classifications to a ticket?

To view intelligent triage classifications within a ticket

  1. In the Agent Workspace, open any ticket.
  2. In the ticket properties panel on the left, view the following ticket fields:
    • Topic and Topic confidence: A classification of what the customer is asking about and how likely the classification is correct. Confidence is either High, Medium, or Low.
    • Language and Language confidence: A classification of the language the ticket is written in and how likely the classification is correct. Confidence is either High, Medium, or Low.
    • Sentiment and Sentiment confidence: A classification of how the customer feels about their request and how likely the classification is correct. Confidence values include:
      • Very positive: The message likely contains strong positive words (like "brilliant" or "perfect"), positive words modified by intensity adverbs, or multiple positive sentences.
      • Positive: The message likely contains phrases expressing gratitude, or one to two positive sentences.
      • Neutral: The message likely contains factual statements without additional negative quantifiers (like "any" or "always"), or a mix of positive and negative statements.
      • Negative: The message likely contains phrases expressing frustration, complaints containing negative words, or repetition of the same dissatisfaction.
      • Very negative: The message likely contains strong negative words, capitalized text, multiple exclamation marks, or multiple negative phrases.
  3. (Optional) To change any of the values, click the appropriate field and select a new value from the drop-down list.

    Most intelligent triage classifications are based on a ticket's first message only. Any updates you make to these fields should still be based on the first message. Additionally, updating these fields doesn't train the machine learning model responsible for intelligent triage.

    If configured by an admin, the topic and sentiment classifications update based on the latest message from the end user. You can make updates based on their latest message.

Viewing and updating a ticket's topic and sentiment in the ticket header

If configured by an admin, you can also view the topic and sentiment in the ticket header.

To view a ticket's topic and sentiment

  1. In the Agent Workspace, open any ticket.
  2. In the ticket header, view the topic and sentiment.

    You can hover over it to see the full text if necessary.

  3. (Optional) To change the topic or sentiment, click the current value and select a new value from the drop-down list.

Viewing a ticket's topic and sentiment update history

You can view a ticket's topic and sentiment update history from the ticket's events.

To view a ticket's topic and sentiment update history
  1. In the Agent Workspace, open any ticket.
  2. Click the events icon () in the conversation header.

    If there have been updates to the ticket's topic or sentiment, the events display the system update with the previous topic or sentiment and the new topic or sentiment, after the end user last commented.
