Every ticket ever is showing in our queue

If the incremental ticket count was up to 17924 with 65 tickets open, then I can make and educated guess as to what caused the problem.

An Admin or Technician must have completed a search of all Closed tickets. The person (Unknown Subject) then selected all tickets (Shift + Click). Then the Unsub used the Bulk Action tool to change the status of every closed ticket to open.

This is not a bug in Web Help Desk. And I highly doubt this would be caused by any hiccup in the database. This would have to be accidental or malicious activity.

The good news is it can be easily reversed.

To fix the problem, you'll need to search for all open tickets that were updated at the time of the problem.

These tickets should all have about the same date/time timestamp.

To reverse the process, you can select all of the tickets using Shift + Click and then use the Bulk Action tool to change the status of every open ticket to closed.

Finally, this may also be a good time to consider configuring Tech Permissions to limit access based on the role of each Technician.

The following permission should be restricted:

Hope this helps.
