Guides for every role

These pages are the full MagicTicket manual: customers learn how to file tickets and use saved logins; agents get the inbox, MagicAI, and remote session tools; workspace admins cover invites, join codes, locations, IT assets, quiet hours, CSAT, plan and seats; operators get the super-admin console. Use the tabs below to jump to your role, or scroll the always-visible sections for deep detail on every topic.

MagicTicket Help Center

Customer (anyone filing tickets — employees, crew, clients), Team (agents), Workspace admin, and Super admin (platform operator) each have their own tab — pick the one that matches how you use MagicTicket. Use Print / Save as PDF— in the print dialog choose "Save as PDF" for a crisp copy that matches this layout.

What MagicTicket is

A single app for support — sign in, file a ticket, talk to your team in one thread, come back to it whenever.

MagicTicket keeps every back-and-forth, file, and credential for one request in one place. You don't need to dig through email, texts, or screenshots — open the ticket and the whole story is there, including any logins your support team handed you along the way.

The customer dashboard at a glance

Your dashboard shows your saved logins (if any — you can collapse that card to a single line when you want a calmer view), the sky-blue network shortcut (button text may say Request internet access or Request network access depending on how your workspace is configured), optional live maps when your admin grants you access (vessels, vehicles, or other tracked sites), and your ticket inbox below. Tap any ticket to open the full thread. With the inbox on screen, /jumps focus to search (when you aren't already typing in a field); Esc clears search when that box is focused.

Profile name, password (with show/hide when typing), optional weather location for widgets, and your personal notification override are on My account.

Joining a workspace

Two ways to land in the right workspace — your IT lead or office picks one.

Most people join with a join code printed or texted to them. A few people get a personal email invite link. Either way you only do this once.

  1. 1

    Open the join page or invite link

    Go to /join and type the code your team gave you (or scan the QR poster). Personal invites are a one-time link sent to your email.

  2. 2

    Confirm the location and create your account

    You'll see the location name (e.g. an office, a vessel, a clinic) before submitting. Set a password — that's your sign-in.

  3. 3

    Land on your dashboard

    You're now a customer of that location. New tickets you file are auto-tagged with its name so the right team sees them fast.

Already signed in?

If you're already logged in, open Join or a /join/… link — you'll get a short "Add this location" button without typing your password again. We attach the location to your existing account.

Already have an account but signed out?

Use the same email and password on the join page — we'll add the location to your existing login instead of creating a duplicate.

Filing a ticket

One form, four fields, you're done. Each ticket gets a number you can refer back to.

Title
One short line — what's broken or what you need.
Vessel or office
Same field as “location” in the database — type freely. Suggestions come from your workspace catalog (offices, vessels, job sites). When your text matches an entry, we link the ticket cleanly so the inbox stays tidy.
Description
What you've tried, error messages, screenshots later if needed.
Priority
Low / Normal / High / Urgent. Be honest — Urgent stays for ship-stopping issues.

MagicAI may post an initial draft answer if your question matches something in the team's knowledge base. Treat it as a head start; a real teammate will follow up.

Reading & replying

The conversation works like a chat. New messages appear as they arrive.

  • Type in the Your reply box at the bottom of the ticket. Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a new line.
  • Attach images, PDFs, or Word/Excel files (max 10 MB). Choose file or drag into the attachment zone. On desktop, a highlighted Pro tip explains the fast path: click in the reply box, then paste (Ctrl+V on Windows, Cmd+V on Mac) to attach a screenshot straight from your capture tool (e.g. Snipping Tool) — same as pasting into the textarea.
  • On a phone, the green Write a reply button floats at the bottom of the screen — tap it to jump straight to the reply box.
  • The conversation refreshes itself as new messages land. No need to refresh the page.
  • When support marks the ticket Resolved, you may see a quick 1–4 satisfaction prompt — optional, but it helps the company spot trends. (Internal team-only tickets never show this — they're for staff coordination only.)
  • A short note under the composer explains that MagicAI may help draft or suggest replies; double-check anything specific (passwords, hours, addresses) with a human.

What the status badges mean

Open
Logged, waiting for first response.
In progress
Someone is actively working on it.
Waiting
Waiting on you (a question, a reboot, etc.).
Resolved
The team thinks it's fixed.
Closed
Wrapped up, no further action.

Request internet / network access

The fastest path when you need Wi‑Fi or captive-portal login at a site your company already supports.

On the dashboard, the sky-blue shortcut opens a dialog (your workspace may label it Request internet access or Request network access). Submit once — a ticket lands in your inbox and support replies in that thread with usernames, passwords, or next steps.

You'll pick whether you need the crew / staff network or the client / guest one (wording switches to staff/guest when your operator enables land-office copy). The form asks for location, your name, role, and optional notes.

Wi‑Fi name & password on the form

When your workspace admin has saved Wi‑Fi details on that location's profile, matching the vessel or site name can surface the right SSID and Wi‑Fi password as you fill the form. The app shows a clear warning: don't join that Wi‑Fi until support is ready — switching too early can drop your cell data and strand you before the captive portal is set up. If nothing is on file yet, you'll see similar guidance to wait for the reply thread.

Your admin can turn this shortcut off for workspaces that don't use it; if you don't see the card, file a normal ticket instead.

When support sends portal credentials, they can pin them to your account in the same reply — those rows appear on Saved loginsso you don't have to dig through the thread later.

Saved logins

Captive-portal usernames and passwords your support team pinned to your account.

When the team sends you network credentials, they can save them to your account in the same submit. They show up at the top of your dashboard, grouped by location. Reveal shows the password for shoulder-surf safety; Copy puts it on your clipboard. Only your support team can change or remove these rows — if something expired or looks wrong, open a ticket and they will update it from their tools.

No internet, no password — what now?

If a captive portal blocks the public internet, ask your IT team to allow magicticket.help on its captive portal allowlist, or use a lobby kiosk or shared PC (many sites have one) to look the credentials up.

Live maps on your dashboard

When your workspace uses live GPS tracking, you may see a map card on the dashboard — not every customer gets this; your admin controls who sees which sites.

Live maps show where a tracked vessel, vehicle, or mobile site is right now, plus a recent route line when GPS history is available. The same Peplink + Starlink hardware that keeps a ship online can track a truck, tug, or remote field site — the map does not care what you call the location in MagicTicket.

If you do not see a map, your workspace may have tracking turned off, or you may not have been granted access yet — ask your support lead rather than filing a ticket about a missing map.

Live pin
The marker shows the best available GPS fix — usually Starlink dish GPS when fresh, otherwise the Peplink router’s own GPS antenna.
Status badges
Online/offline, which antenna is active (offshore vs inshore Starlink when configured), and reported speed when the router sends it.
Track line
A coloured route for recent movement. Use Track period on desktop (or Controls on mobile) to pick 1 day through 21 days, all available history, or custom dates.
Open full map
Opens a dedicated MagicTicket page in a new tab — larger map, same live data, GPX download, and fleet mates on one screen when your operator configured them.
Minimize map
On desktop you can collapse the dashboard card to a single line; your choice is remembered per site.

Multiple workspaces

If you belong to more than one workspace with tracking, ask your workspace admin which maps you should see, or see Live tracking & dashboard maps if you are an admin yourself.

Email notifications

You decide how chatty MagicTicket gets in your inbox.

On My account → Notifications you have two controls:

Email me about my tickets
Master switch. Off = no transactional ticket emails. Account & security mail from MagicTicket still goes through.
Quiet window override
Optional. Choose use workspace default, always email right away, or stay quiet for 5 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes after you are active in a thread so rapid back-and-forth does not flood your inbox. Your workspace admin sets the default for everyone who leaves this on workspace default.

If you belong to more than one workspace

Staff at multiple sites or contractors with multiple clients — one account, several workspaces.

Use the workspace switcher in the top nav to flip between them. Each workspace has its own tickets, members, and saved logins — nothing leaks across.

Within one workspace that has multiple locations (same company), you stay one user — you just pick the location on each new ticket.
