1.- How it works

Members having questions, are coming to your support department. They read your Frequence Asked Questions and if they don't solve their problem, they're opening a support ticket.
By opening a ticket, a copy is going to member, and a notification is going to technicians.
Technician reply to the question, eighter using a predefinied reply, or writing a fresh reply.
Technician has the ability to save his reply to predefinied ones, or, if he counts it as common question to add it to as many FAQ categories he wants.
Member gets the reply, and if he is not totally satisfied, he visits your site to continue the discussion and so on.
Member and/or Technician can close a ticket
Member and/or Technician can re-open a ticket
