Create a ticket draft
1
Choose Create Ticket
On Security > EDR Incidents, open the three-dot Actions menu on one row and choose Create Ticket. For several incidents, check their rows and choose Create Ticket from Actions (N) in the page header.
2
Paste the details
MSPortal shows Incident details copied to clipboard and opens the new ticket page. Paste the copied text into the ticket description. It lists host, severity, verdict, category, state, detected date, and the Acronis link.
3
Complete and submit
Choose the company, fill in the required fields, check every host in the pasted text, and submit the ticket.
If you change the company or leave the EDR tab while the clipboard request is pending, its delayed result does not open a ticket page or show a confirmation. Start Create Ticket again from the incident you want to use. If copying fails while you are still on the same view, MSPortal keeps that view open and shows an error.
