Support Board

A private board for support work that should become knowledge.

Track manual support cards, private owner notes, status history, assignee context, related surfaces, and reviewed answer handoff without turning AnswerLattice into a project-management tool.

Support Board

Keep support follow-up visible without mirroring every ticket.

Support Board is the owner/staff workboard for support gaps that need follow-up. Tickets, conversations, and signals keep their own screens; the board is for the items owners decide should become reviewed support work.

01 / Support Board

Create support cards

Add a manual card when a customer question, product gap, or support follow-up needs owner attention.

02

Keep private notes

Store internal owner/staff context on the card. Notes stay private and never render in hosted help, widget answers, or public pages.

03

Track status history

Use the current status for filtering while keeping a timestamped activity trail of status changes and remarks.

04

Assign follow-up

Add assignee, due date, priority, tags, and related customer/support context without building a full helpdesk workflow.

05

Link support context

Attach the card to related product surfaces, entities, tickets, conversations, or answers when that context makes review faster.

06

Create answer proposals

Turn a handled support card into an answer proposal, then approve it before it becomes official.

Workflow

From owner note to reviewed support knowledge.

Support Board stays manual-first by default: owners create the cards that matter, add private context, move the item through review, and hand off answer work when needed.

01

Create a card

Capture the support gap, unresolved question, or follow-up item the owner wants to track.

02

Add private context

Record internal notes, assignee, priority, due date, and links to the relevant support objects.

03

Move the status

Use current status for the board view while preserving timestamped status activity.

04

Connect product context

Link the item to a surface, entity, answer, ticket, or conversation when that helps review.

05

Create a proposal

Draft an answer proposal only when the support item should become reusable support knowledge.

06

Approve the answer

The review queue remains the authority layer before an answer becomes official.

Connected product truth

The board connects support work without duplicating every screen.

Support Board is useful because it sits above tickets, conversations, surfaces, and answer work as an owner review lane. It should not replace those dedicated screens.

Feature layer
01

Support Board

Support Board stays tied to reviewed sources, safe page context, and owner-approved support output.

02

Reviewed source

Support content feeds the widget, hosted help, tickets, and answer review from one controlled workspace.

03

Page context

Manual support cards and private notes

Connected surfaces
01

Tickets

Fallback tickets stay in the ticket inbox; selected issues can become board follow-up.

02

Conversations

Low-confidence conversations and feedback can inform cards without exposing chat logs publicly.

03

Product surfaces

Cards can point to billing, onboarding, settings, integrations, releases, or error pages.

04

Answer review

Answer proposals created from cards still require owner approval before becoming authoritative.

Connected layer

Support Board is one part of the full support layer.

A founder may start with support board, but the value comes from keeping it connected to setup, in-app support, hosted help, fallback, and approved-answer review.

A familiar support surface

Each feature is explained as something buyers already recognize: docs, FAQs, releases, tickets, feedback, notifications, or review work.

Connected to the support suite

The feature does not live alone. It connects back to widget answers, hosted help, fallback, and owner review.

Owner control stays visible

Drafts, generated content, ticket gaps, and feedback remain reviewable before anything becomes official support.

Questions

What owners usually ask about support board.

Is Support Board a ticket inbox?

No. Tickets stay in the ticket inbox. Support Board is the private owner workboard for selected support gaps, follow-up notes, and knowledge tasks.

Does the board sync every ticket and signal?

No. The default public product story is manual-first. Ticket/signal sync and nightly board preparation are controlled rollout paths and are not on for every workspace by default.

Are notes visible to end users?

No. Support Board notes are internal owner/staff context only. They do not appear in hosted help, widget responses, public APIs, or customer-facing docs.

Does creating a card publish an answer?

No. Cards can create answer proposals, but owner approval decides what becomes authoritative support knowledge.

Launch support board as part of the full support loop.

AnswerLattice works best when support board stays connected to widget answers, hosted help, tickets, and answer review.
