Project Description

OpenSource TicketSystem is a simple and intuitive ticketing system with a basic web interface, developed as a pet project. The backend is written in FastAPI (Python), and the frontend is developed using VueJS (JavaScript). The project is in the early stages of development and provides essential features for ticket management.

• Ticket Creation: Users can create new tickets with all necessary details.
• Ticket Viewing: Ability to view the details of a ticket.
• Ticket Closure: Users can close tickets once the issue is resolved.
• Ticket Assignment: Tickets can be assigned to specific users for resolution.
• Ticket List: View all tickets in the system.
• Ticket Search: Ability to search for tickets by title, creation time, and other fields.

Planned Features

• Complete User Interface: Develop a fully functional user interface.
• Integrations: Integrate with messengers and other systems for ticket creation.
• Lifecycle Management: Manage the entire lifecycle of a ticket.
• Notifications: Send notifications about ticket updates via email or messengers.
• Role-Based Access Control: Introduce role-based access control to manage user permissions and access levels.
