Reply Template
Templates help technicians save time and efforts by auto-populating fields for frequently used email responses to requests. Reply templates can be private or public. Private templates can be used only by the template creator, whereas public templates can be used by all help desk technicians.
The SDAdmin and the HelpdeskConfig can configure public and private reply templates, whereas technicians with view permissions to requests can configure only private reply templates.
