This template centralizes all incoming support tickets and maintenance issues, replacing scattered emails and chaotic spreadsheets. It provides a structured foundation to log, prioritize, and resolve inquiries efficiently without technical complexity.
The database consists of a primary "Requests" table that captures essential details including contact info, specific service types, descriptions, and file attachments. With dedicated fields for preferred dates and status tracking, you can ensure every ticket is assigned and addressed promptly.
Spreadsheets often become unmanageable as request volumes grow, leading to lost data and broken formatting. A database ensures data integrity and scalability from day one.
Unlike spreadsheets where data entry can be inconsistent, Softr Databases enforce strict variable types like dates, emails, and single-select options. This structure prevents errors—such as invalid dates in your "Preferred date" columns—and ensures your service records remain reliable and easy to filter.
This template handles file uploads securely via the Attachments field, allowing users to submit screenshots or documents—something spreadsheets struggle to do effectively. You can also leverage Database AI agents to automatically analyze descriptions and tag requests by urgency or type, streamlining your initial triage process.
Log service inquiries with contact info, hardware issues, and scheduling
This template is designed for teams that need to organize incoming work without complex ticketing software:
1. Customize the database
Update the "Service type" select field choices (currently Computer, Network, Printer) to match your specific support offerings. Editing fields in a Softr Database is as intuitive as adjusting a spreadsheet column but ensures data consistency.
2. Import your existing data
If you are currently tracking tickets in a service request spreadsheet, simply export it to CSV and import your historic data. This allows you to migrate instantly and keep all your past records accessible.
3. Build an app on top
Turn this database into a secure client portal using Softr's interface builder. You can set granular users and permissions so clients only see their own requests while support agents view and manage the full queue.
A service request database is a structured system for logging, tracking, and managing incoming support or maintenance tickets. Unlike a simple list, it organizes data into specific fields like dates, attachments, and categories to ensure efficient resolution.
No-code databases allow you to build a professional tracking system rapidly without needing technical skills. This gives you the autonomy to modify fields and workflows as your team evolves, offering a production-ready solution that is easier to maintain than custom code.
You can use Database AI agents to automate repetitive tasks like categorizing tickets based on user descriptions or generating summary reports. AI agents can also draft email responses to requesters, significantly reducing manual administrative work.
Yes, you can use Softr's interface builder to create a user-friendly portal on top of this database. This allows requesters to submit forms securely and view their ticket status, while staff can manage the backend with appropriate access controls.
Yes, this template is completely free to copy and use. Softr's free plan includes database functionality, making it easy to get started without any upfront cost.
A service request spreadsheet often suffers from data integrity issues, such as accidental deletion or mixed data types in columns. This database enforces structure (e.g., proper date formats, required fields) and handles file attachments natively, which is difficult to manage in Excel or Google Sheets.
