Customers get a door. Agents still work issues.
Help Desk is a service layer on Yongo, not a side system. Queues are how agents slice the work. SLAs are clocks against goals and calendars you define. The portal is how people who should not see the tracker still raise and follow a request. Underneath, a ticket is an issue.
Included in every account. Help Desk is not on the default product top bar until an administrator enables it for the tenant — if you do not see queues after sign-in, ask us to turn it on.

Why Help Desk
Give customers a proper service experience without splitting support from delivery.
Support slows down when requests live in one system and the teams who resolve them work in another. Help Desk adds customer-safe intake, queues, and service clocks to Yongo, so the request can move from first reply to engineering without a handoff between databases.
-
01
Create a clear front door
Customers raise and follow requests in a dedicated portal without seeing internal tracker screens or administration.
-
02
Make response promises measurable
Define SLA goals and calendars, pause clocks when appropriate, and show agents what needs attention next.
-
03
Resolve without re-entering work
The service ticket is already a Yongo issue, with the same workflow, fields, permissions, links, and engineering path.
HLP-QUEUE
A queue is a slice, not a second database.
Build agent queues with the columns and filters your support team actually uses. CRUD, display columns, the work in front of the person who owes a reply.
- Queues you own Waiting on us, waiting on customer, escalated — named by you, filtered by you.
- Display columns Show the SLA, the organisation, the summary. Hide what the agent does not need in the list.
- Same list engine Queue views share the issue list path with the navigator. Permissions do not go on holiday because the URL says Help Desk.
HLP-SLA
An SLA is a clock against a goal, on a calendar.
Goals, calendars, elapsed time. Pause when you are waiting on the customer. Recompute when you open the issue — lists stay honest without rewriting every row on every refresh.
- Goals & calendars Business hours, holidays, the 4-hour first response — configured, not guessed.
- On the issue SLA values live with the ticket. Open PLATFORM-902 and the clock is there, next to the workflow.
- On the list Queue and portal lists can show stored SLA columns without a write on every page load.
HLP-PORTAL
The portal is for people who should not see Yongo.
Customers sign in, open tickets, and follow progress without a full tracker seat. Sign-up, dashboard, projects, profiles — a door, not a leak of your internal screens.
- Raise & follow The customer sees their request, not your permission scheme internals.
- Organisations Group customers so a company sees its own tickets. Administration for customers and organisations sits next to the queues.
- Still an issue When it needs engineering, you are not exporting a ghost. Assign, transition, link DOC-12.
HLP-RPT
Service reports on volume, queues, and SLA performance.
How many came in, what sat, what breached. The same issues the agents already work.
- Volume & queues A data endpoint behind the reports you actually open on Monday.
- SLA performance Goals missed and met, against the calendars you defined — not a generic “first response” nobody configured.
Same house
Support does not export a ghost into another tracker.
