# One Request = One Ticket

**The Golden Rule: One Problem = One Ticket**

Each ticket should address a single issue or request. This is crucial for efficient support.

**Why this matters:**

✅ **Better tracking**: Each issue has its own status and can be closed independently

✅ **Faster resolution**: Different problems may need different team members

✅ **Clear communication**: Conversation stays focused and organized

✅ **Accurate reporting**: We can track resolution times and common issues

✅ **Nothing gets forgotten**: All parts of your request might not be addressed if combined

---

**Examples:**

❌ **WRONG - Multiple requests in one ticket:**

**Subject:** "Several issues need fixing"

**Body:** "Hi, I need help with:

1. The contact form is broken
2. Can you update the homepage banner image?
3. I forgot my password
4. We need to add a new product category
5. The site is slow on mobile"

**Problem:** These are 5 completely different issues requiring different expertise, different time to resolve, and different urgency levels. Some might be fixed quickly while others take days.

✅ **RIGHT - Separate tickets:**

**Ticket #1 - Subject:** "Contact form not sending emails" (Technical bug - High priority)

**Ticket #2 - Subject:** "Request: Update homepage banner image" (Content update - Normal priority)

**Ticket #3 - Subject:** "Password reset not working for my account" (User access issue - High priority)

**Ticket #4 - Subject:** "Request: Add new product category 'Accessories'" (Feature addition - Normal priority)

**Ticket #5 - Subject:** "Website loading slowly on mobile devices" (Performance issue - Medium priority)

**What about related issues?**

If issues are genuinely connected, keep them together:

✅ **OK to combine:**

- "Login form has wrong color AND wrong font" (same component)
- "Product page 404 errors on /shop/item1, /shop/item2, /shop/item3" (same type of error)
- "New user request: Create account and assign editor role for [jane@company.com](mailto:jane@company.com)" (single task)

---

**What if I realize I need something else while a ticket is open?**

**Option 1:** If it's directly related to the current ticket, add it as a reply/comment

**Option 2:** If it's a different issue, create a new ticket and mention the related ticket number

- Example: "This may be related to ticket #12345, but it's a separate issue with..."
