# Escalate Options

To access these settings:

> Head to your [Dashboard](https://tickettool.xyz/manage-servers)\
> Select your server\
> Go to the [**Panel Configs**](/dashboard/panel-configs.md) Tab\
> Under **General Ticket**, click on **Escalate** Options

With escalation, you can transfer a ticket between different panels

### Panel List

You can select up to 25 panels to which a ticket can be transferred to.

{% endhint %}

### Update Options

Here you will be able to select which options are to be updated once the ticket is transferred:

* **Category:** If the category limit allows it, the ticket will be moved to the target panel [configured category](/dashboard/panel-configs/category-options.md).
* **Name:** If there is no renaming cooldown, the ticket will be renamed following the [Ticket Name options](/dashboard/panel-configs/ticket-options.md#ticket-opened-channel-name) of the target panel.
* **Permissions:** All [Permission Options](/dashboard/panel-configs/permission-options.md) will be set as new within the target panel.
* **Automatically unclaim ticket:** Requires the panel to have enabled the [Claiming Options](/dashboard/panel-configs/claiming-options.md).

### Additional Settings

* **Send Custom Message:** Allows you to create a custom message to be sent along on the ticket. Supports [special escalation variables](/dashboard/panel-configs/variables.md#special-variables)
* **Send Ticket Message:** This will send the target panel's [Ticket Message](/dashboard/panel-configs/ticket-options.md#ticket-message) in the transferred ticket

Make sure to always **save** changes using the pop-up shown whenever a change is done.
