How to assign a ticket in YakDesk
A ticket nobody owns is a ticket nobody answers. Assigning it tells the team who's handling it, and the priority tells them how soon.

Transcript
Give a ticket an owner and a priority, so it doesn't sit waiting.
In Tickets, open the ticket. Jamal's teammate never got her invite, and no one has picked it up yet.
Under Details, open Assignee and choose who should handle it. Oliver looks after email delivery, so pick Oliver.
Set the priority too. Jamal's teammate can't join until the invite arrives, so make it high.
Back in Tickets, the list shows Oliver as the assignee, with the new priority.
