This screen is divided into two parts: **Requests** and **Messaging**.

## **Requests**

**Show Ticket IDs** — This allows for easier reference using an ID# when looking for tickets or using the search filters.

**Require Selecting Department** — If you are using Helpdesk to manage multiple departments, this selection requires users to select a department before selecting a request type. This prevents tickets from being submitted to the wrong department.

## **Messaging**

**Messaging** — When you enable Messaging, Helpdesk sends a daily summary email to campus approvers, allowing them to quickly see how many requests are awaiting approval.
