How Can I Change The Numbering of My Support Tickets?

By default, when you install Clientexec, your ticket numbering will start at 1000. If you want to change this number you have a
couple of options.

Option 1:



If this is a fresh install or you currently have 0 tickets, you can go to Settings > Support > General then for the input Support Ticket Start Number you can enter the number you want to use.



Option 2.



If you already have existing tickets then option 1 will not work for you. What you can do is adjust this setting with an SQL query. To do this go to Settings > Utilities > SQL Tool and using the following query:

ALTER TABLE troubleticket AUTO_INCREMENT = newStartingNumber


Change the newStartingNumber to the number you want to use.

IMPORTANT: This number must be HIGHER then your current highest ticket number. So if your last ticket number was 1020 for example then you will need to use a number higher then that like so:

ALTER TABLE troubleticket AUTO_INCREMENT = 5000


Using that query, your next ticket generated would be Ticket number 5000.
