What's inside

Ticket-ready statusesWaiting on customer has a task limit, so you see when too many tickets are stuck on the client side.
Recurring maintenanceWeekly backup checks and monthly patch reviews repeat on their own, per client.
One project per clientEvery client in its own color on one board, so the whole queue is one screen.
Request formClients submit tickets through a form; each one becomes a task in their project.
Client guest viewClients see their own tickets and nothing else, free.
Starter rulesFlag urgent tickets and aging work. Edit or turn off any of them.

Questions

Is this a replacement for a ticketing system?

For a small team, often yes. Taskift handles tickets, recurring work and client visibility. It does not do billing, contracts or RMM.

Can each client see only their tickets?

Yes. Invite each client as a free guest and share only their project.

How do recurring tasks work?

A schedule rule creates the task daily, weekly or monthly. Quarterly work starts as a dated task you move forward.

Can I save my own version?

Yes. Save any project as a template and reuse it for the next client.
