Here is an overview of all Conclude commands that can be used in ticket channels
that have been created by Conclude apps.

### Quick reference

- **Conclude the ticket** `/c conclude`
- **Edit ticket settings** `/c edit`
- **Assign ownership** `/c owner`
- **Invite people** `/c invite`
- **Rename channel** `/c rename`
- **Severity setting** `/c severity`
- **Inactivity timer** `/c timer`
- **Set a deadline** `/c deadline`
- **Share a ticket** `/c share`
- **Delete a ticket** `/c delete`
- **Eject a ticket** `/c eject`

See below for detailed explanations for each command.

### Conclude the ticket

- `/c conclude` opens a dialog where you can enter a conclusion and close the ticket.

### Edit ticket settings

- `/c edit` opens a dialog where you can edit all ticket settings (attributes).
- `/c edit subject` opens a dialog where you can edit the ticket's subject attribute.

### Assign ownership

The owner is an individual who is responsible for the ticket.
Notice the owner must be a member of the ticket channel.

- `/c owner <@user>` assigns ownership of the ticket.
- `/c owner` displays the current owner.
- `/c owner clear` marks the ticket as unassigned.

Example:
- `/c owner @louise` assigns ownership of the ticket to Louise.

### Invite people to ticket channels

This invite command is an alternative to the built-in Slack /invite command.
The Conclude version lets you invite several team members at once, and even
invite people who are members of channels and Slack user groups.

- `/c invite <@user> <@usergroup> <#channel>` invites users, channel members
  and members of user groups.

Examples:
- `/c invite @sandra @jim` invites two team members.
- `/c invite @sales-east` invites everyone in a Slack user group.
- `/c invite #devops #management` invites the members of two Slack channels.

There is no limit to how many individuals you may invite to a ticket.

### Rename the ticket channel

Rename the ticket channel that was created by Conclude.
Using `/c rename` is equivalent to using the built-in Slack /rename command
except that the Conclude version works on both mobile and desktop versions of Slack

Slack channel names are limited to 80 characters, and may include
lower case non-Latin letters, numbers, underscores (_) and hyphens (-).

**Tip:** Use a pattern to differentiate Conclude tickets from regular Slack channels.

- `/c rename <channel name>` renames the ticket channel.

Example:
- `/c rename _incident-4211`

### Severity level

The severity describes the severity level of a ticket, and is mainly used for
managing incidents.

- `/c severity <severity>` sets the severity level for the ticket.
- `/c severity` displays the severity level.
- `/c severity clear` removes the severity setting.

Examples:
- `/c severity critical`  sets the severity level to critical.

Severity levels:
1. Critical
2. High
3. Moderate
4. Low
5. Unknown
6. None (removes the severity setting)

### Inactivity timer

The inactivity timer sends reminders to a ticket channel if there have been no comments during a specific time period. It reduces delays and shorten incident resolution times and is configurable to your organization’s preferences.

- `/c timer` opens a Slack dialog where you can start or stop an inactivity timer.

### Deadlines

Set a deadline to create urgency. An automated notification will be sent to the team
when the countdown timer is 20% from reaching zero, but at most 24 hours before the
deadline. For example, if you set a deadline in 10 hours, you'll get a reminder in
8 hours. If you set a deadline in a week you'll get the notification exactly 24 hours
before the deadline expires.

Deadlines are always expressed in your local timezone.

- `/c deadline <deadline>` sets a deadline for a future date/time.
- `/c deadline` displays the deadline.
- `/c deadline clear` removes the deadline.

Examples:
- `/c deadline tuesday at 4pm`
- `/c deadline tomorrow`
- `/c deadline in 4 hours`
- `/c deadline Friday noon`
- `/c deadline October 3 at 4pm`

### Share a link to the ticket

You can share a link to the ticket using the `/c share` command. It will generate a URL
that your team members can open, unless it's a private ticket which they cannot access.
People outside your Slack workspace cannot access the shared ticket since it requires login
access to the workspace.

Example:
- `/c share`

> Here is a link to the ticket: https://conclude.io/id/i5H5jvp2H

A typical use of this link is to store it in Trello, Jira etc. as a link to a Conclude ticket.

### Delete a ticket

Use the command `/c delete` to delete a ticket. Conclude shows you a confirmation
dialog that asks if you really want to delete the ticket before actually deleting it.

**Warning:** After a ticket has been deleted, there is no way to restore it.

**Danger zone:** You can delete a ticket quietly without a confirmation dialog by
typing `/c delete -q`.

### Eject a ticket

Convert a ticket to a regular Slack channel by using the `/c eject` command.
This is useful if you want to continue using the channel as a permanent Slack channel
and not as a temporary ticket channel.

You may also want to rename the channel, or at least remove any underscore (_) prefix
so the channel is not confused with other Conclude tickets.

**Warning:** Ejecting a ticket is irreversible. You cannot convert it back to a
Conclude ticket.
