Build Daily

Support tickets that keep the problem and the proof together

When a PM, service manager, dispatcher, or office admin hits a problem in Build Daily, they open a support ticket instead of sending a side text or an email that gets buried. The ticket carries the module, priority, screenshots, replies, owner, due date, and next step, so you know what support is waiting on.

How a product issue moves from contractor report to support action

Report the issue from the page where it happened

A support request can be opened from the app with a subject, message, category, priority, module key, and attachments. That matters when the issue is tied to a service invoice, public review link, manpower map, or other screen the user was already working in.

  • Capture the issue while the person still remembers what happened
  • Attach screenshots, PDFs, logs, or other backup
  • Keep the same thread visible when support replies or asks for more detail
Customer support ticket thread
The customer ticket keeps status, owner, severity, next step, replies, and activity in one visible trail.

Support staff work from queues instead of a loose inbox

The staff desk filters tickets by active status, who it is waiting on, priority, owner, SLA due time, saved views, and search. A support lead can see what is waiting on staff, what is due soon, and which tickets need an answer before the day gets away.

  • Separate tickets waiting on staff from tickets waiting on the customer
  • Use saved queues such as Mine, Overdue, Billing and payments, or Waiting on customer
  • Open the ticket row with requester, organization, owner, priority, status, and due window already visible
Support desk queue
The queue turns incoming requests into rows you can assign, with response due times in view.

The ticket detail is where support decides what happens next

On the staff side, support sets the owner, priority, status, module, page link, tags, due date, summary, resolution, and escalation. Those facts stay with the thread.

  • Assign or take ownership when a ticket needs a clear owner
  • Change status and waiting state as the issue moves
  • Record the page link, module, tags, due date, summary, and escalation
Support ticket controls
Ticket controls put triage in writing so nobody has to remember it.

Replies, internal notes, and attachments stay in the same record

Support can send the customer a reply, add a staff-only note, insert a saved macro, and upload backup from the same reply panel. The customer sees the reply thread. Staff keep their investigation notes and backup on the ticket.

  • Send customer-facing replies from the ticket
  • Add internal notes that are not emailed to the requester
  • Attach files to the reply or internal note
Support reply controls
Reply controls separate customer communication from internal troubleshooting without splitting the record.

The support decisions this workflow keeps visible

Contractor User

Opens the ticket, explains the problem, attaches screenshots, checks status, replies when support needs more information, and can reopen a closed ticket if the issue is not actually fixed.

Operations or Office Lead

Keeps an eye on open support issues that may block billing, service, project reviews, manpower planning, or other day-to-day Build Daily work.

Support Staff

Owns the queue, sets priority and waiting state, replies to the customer, adds internal notes, escalates when needed, and closes the ticket with the resolution trail intact.

Why it matters

A billing issue needs more than a subject line

If a customer cannot find a service invoice payment link, support needs the invoice, the page they were on, a screenshot, the delivery trail, priority, and reply history. The ticket carries all of that so nobody has to piece it together from chat.

Waiting State Changes the Next Move

A ticket waiting on staff is an action item for support. A ticket waiting on the customer is a follow-up question. Separating those states keeps both sides honest about who owes the next answer.

Support work can block real contractor work

A stale public review link, invoice issue, or manpower map question can stop billing, owner review, or scheduling. Support makes those blockers visible enough to triage, escalate, and resolve.

From a field problem to a tracked answer

1

Report the Issue

The user opens a ticket, explains what happened, chooses category and priority, picks the module, and attaches screenshots or files.

2

Triage the Queue

Support works from active queues, filters by who it is waiting on and SLA due time, assigns an owner, and opens the ticket that needs the next move.

3

Work the Ticket Detail

Staff keep priority, status, category, module, page link, due date, summary, tags, and escalation current.

4

Reply or Investigate Privately

Support sends customer-facing replies when the requester needs an update and adds internal notes when the team is still troubleshooting.

5

Close, Reopen, or Escalate

The ticket can be closed when it is fixed, reopened by a customer reply, linked to related tickets, or escalated to another team when the issue needs deeper work.
