The Brisk Support Dashboard provides agents with high priority tickets. The topmost section of the dashboard lists a summary of all queues and the number of open tickets awaiting agent responses. If agents are permitted to update multiple tickets simultaneously (see Account Settings), the workload summary will contain links to the tickets page with results. The results will be automatically filtered by the selected queue. For non-administrators, below the workload summary will be the "Retrieve Ticket" button, which is used to check out the waiting ticket with the highest priority. General Work related Buttons
