We’re a special needs school for kids with Autism and are evaluating Freshdesk for use as an internal corporate help desk system.  We need the ability to apply SLAs based on the category->subcategory and priority of the submitted ticket.

For example: assume we have a ticket category and subcategory such as: “Facilities->Building Security” and a staff member submits a ticket for this category with an Urgent priority.  We need to be able to assign an SLA for this specific ticket type which likely has a very different response and resolution times than say, an Urgent priority ticket submitted with the category and subcategory  “IT->Internet Access Down”.

I meant to include in my original request (which I’m not able to edit) that ticket “Category” and “Subcategory” noted are custom fields.  In essence what we’re looking for is to be able to create SLAs that use ticket criteria as a “Condition”.

Unfortunately, the SLA “Conditions” are very broad (Company, Group, Product, Source, Type, Contact Segment, Company Segment) and don’t allow creating an SLA based on ticket criteria.


Kids colouring pages really show how small tasks can be categorized and prioritized, just like your ticket system. It’s all about making things clear and manageable for everyone involved.
