              \n

              How do customers track their repair status?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Customers visit your tracking page containing the [mohladesk_tracker]<\/code> shortcode. They enter their Ticket ID (e.g. MHLD-1001<\/code>) and the last 4 digits of their phone number. The system instantly displays their ticket summary, custom fields, and full chronological timeline with any attached inspection photos.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Why does MohlaDesk ask for the last 4 digits of the phone number?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Security and privacy. Many simple tracking plugins only ask for a sequential ticket number. Anyone could guess consecutive numbers and view other customers' names, phone numbers, and repair details. The two-point verification guarantees that only the customer who owns the ticket can view its progress.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Can I rename labels to fit my specific business?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes! You can completely rebrand all labels in MohlaDesk > Settings > General & Terminology<\/strong>. You can rename \"Ticket\" to \"Work Order\", \"Job\", or \"Repair\", rename \"Item\" to \"Device\", \"Car\", \"Bicycle\", or \"Jewelry\", and rename \"Customer\" to \"Client\" or \"Patient\".<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Can I attach photos to status updates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes! When updating a ticket status, you can upload a photo (e.g., diagnostic screen, broken part, or completed repair). Customers can view the photo thumbnail in their timeline and click it to open a high-definition lightbox modal.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              How do automated email notifications work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              When a ticket's status is updated and saved, MohlaDesk can automatically send an email to the customer with your personalized message and dynamic tags (such as {ticket_id}<\/code>, {customer_name}<\/code>, {status}<\/code>, {item_name}<\/code>, and {tracking_link}<\/code>). You can enable or disable this feature and edit the template in MohlaDesk > Settings > Email Notifications<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Will the tracking form match my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes. MohlaDesk was built with clean scoped CSS and allows you to customize all primary colors (buttons, badges, timeline markers, cards, and text) directly in the admin. It integrates smoothly into any theme or page builder (Elementor, Block Editor, Divi, Beaver Builder, etc.).<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Does MohlaDesk work on mobile devices?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes, 100%. Both the customer-facing tracking form, the visual timeline, the photo lightbox, and the WordPress admin ticket editor are fully responsive and optimized for mobile phones and tablets.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Does MohlaDesk slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Not at all. MohlaDesk does not use heavy external libraries or jQuery. The frontend tracker is powered by lightweight modern Vanilla JavaScript and the Fetch API, loading only on pages where the shortcode is used.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Can I edit or delete a past status from the timeline?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes. In the admin ticket edit screen, every timeline entry has an Edit<\/strong> and Delete<\/strong> button. You can adjust the status, change the note, update the attached photo, or delete the record entirely.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Can I override the frontend template in my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes. Developers can copy the template file from mohladesk\/public\/views\/tracker-timeline.php<\/code> into their child theme at your-theme\/mohladesk\/tracker-timeline.php<\/code> to customize the HTML layout as needed.<\/p>\n\n<\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
