About

In response to your valued feedback, we're excited to introduce a highly requested enhancement to the Vulcan Cyber Platform - Ticket Template Customization. We understand that vulnerability remediation is established when efficient communication happens. Through the Ticket Template Customization, you can shape the ticket content to match the organization's needs.

How?

Customizing a ticket is made easy by utilizing an array of available parameters and the flexibility of free-text input.

Support and Limitations

Ticket Customization is only applicable to tickets opened using the Unique Vulnerabilities table through the Take Action for one or multiple vulnerabilities, or generated automatically via Playbooks "Separated by Unique Vulnerabilities" and "Aggregate all Vulnerabilities".

Benefits

Use the organizational terminology

We know that each organization operates with its distinct terminology and processes. With the Ticket Template Customization feature, you're now in complete control. No longer restricted to generic content, you can communicate remediation tasks using your preferred language and terminology. Whether aligning content with your organizational structure, adapting to various asset types, or catering to specific team requirements, this feature places customization in your hands.

Flexibility

The Ticket Template Customization offers a modular ticket template, a canvas to customize to your heart's content. This enables you to create a template that resonates with your team, ensuring every remediation action is clear and actionable.

Better remediation communication

By customizing the ticket template to include selective vulnerability information and actionable content directly aligned with the organizational preferences, you can simplify the remediation process for your team and encourage prompt action.

Creating Ticket Templates

You can customize the default Vulcan template or create new ticket templates:

Go to your Vulcan Platform > Settings > Templates
Click on Create New Template or Duplicate an existing template.
- You can create as many templates as you want.
Add/remove parameters. Learn about all the available parameters and their availability across the ticket content blocks.
Modify the default template or start from scratch for tailored communication. In the template editor, you modify the content and apply custom styling, such as:
- Font size and font style (bold, italics, etc.).
- Text alignment (left, center, right).
- Colors for text and backgrounds to match your brand.
- Spacing and layout adjustments to customize how information is displayed.
Apply your desired styling by using the available formatting tools. Ensure that the styling aligns with your organizational branding guidelines.

Support Note: Ticket styling options are currently available for Jira, Azure, and Email platforms. Support for ServiceNow is not yet available.
Click Save or Discard Changes.
- For the Vulcan Default template, you can always reset to system defaults by clicking "Reset to system defaults".
Once you create a template, you can click the three dots on the template block to Duplicate it, Delete it, or Set it as default.

Use the template across platforms

When you’re ready to use the styled template, you can open tickets on Jira, Azure, or via Email and select the template you wish to use. The styling will be applied consistently across these platforms.
