A help desk system deals with support requests or emails (called tickets) from users. When users have specialized issues or need help, they send a support request through different channels like email, phone, or an online form on a website. The help desk team or software then sorts and prioritizes the tickets based on the nature and seriousness of the issue. The ticket is then assigned to the appropriate support personnel or team who work on fixing the issue. The help desk keeps track of the ticket's progress by providing updates and communicating with the user. Once the issue is resolved, the help desk gives the user a solution and closes the ticket.
