# Adding a Global Trouble Ticket

To create a new Global trouble ticket:

1. From the Global Trouble Tickets window, right-click on any row and select **New > Trouble Ticket**. This displays the New Global Trouble Ticket window.

The **New > Trouble Ticket** function for Global trouble tickets works in the same fashion as the **New > Trouble Ticket** function for customer trouble tickets. The only differences are as follows:
  - **Trouble** tab - “Display on Customer Summary Tab” check box is not provided in the New Global Trouble Ticket window. This check box only applies to trouble tickets associated with a specific customer. Global trouble tickets are not associated with a specific customer.
  - **Contact** tab - “Contacts” does not apply to Global trouble tickets, therefore, this input field is grayed out and cannot be modified. You must select a “Contact Type” for a Global trouble ticket (this input field is grayed out for a customer level trouble ticket and cannot be modified).
  - **Location** tab - The **Select** option is not available. Instead, the **New** option opens the Add Trouble Location window (see below for more information).
2. Use this window to enter the global trouble ticket information. See [Adding a Trouble Ticket](/v1/docs/adding-a-trouble-ticket).
3. Click the **Location** tab and enter location information for this trouble ticket (see [Location Tab](/v1/docs/location-tab)).
4. Click the **Contact** tab and enter contact information for this trouble ticket (see [Contact Tab](/v1/docs/contact-tab)).
5. Click **Save** to create a new Global trouble ticket.
