How to Customize Ticket Columns in the Customer Service Portal

As a business owner, you care about your customers. That’s why you’re using HubSpot to manage their tickets! But you may have found yourself feeling dissatisfied with the information that’s displayed to your customers.

You want to customize it! But the native HubSpot portal doesn’t allow for that unfortunately. You know what does though? The Customer Service Portal.

It allows you to manage your tickets but with so many more options. One of which is the ability to choose what properties customers see on their tickets. Let’s find out how!

NOTE: This feature requires the Enterprise tier of the Customer Service Portal.

6. An important thing to note is that when you add any new columns to your tickets, the default columns will be removed. To restore them, you'll either need to manually add them or remove the new columns you added.
