When inserting inline images, those are added as attachments.When an end-user creates a ticket from an email, the formatting of the original email is also preserved in email notifications.
    Category Select a category for your ticket. Categories are defined in GoTo Admin for each helpdesk service individually. Categories are listed in alphabetic order, and you can also search them by starting to type the name of a category. See How do I add helpdesk services in GoTo Admin?

    Previous Comments You can edit or delete comments that agents added to the ticket. Only the first two lines of a comment is visible by default. You can click the comment to view its full content.
