Max. Posts Per Page: : This option is to control the number of correspondence happened for a ticket. Default value is set as 30, you can increase/decrease this value to have the effect on the view ticket screen for admin/staff/user.

Time between posts: This option is to prevent flooding of tickets in the tickets. This value denotes the time between two subsequent posts by the same user. Thus if you increase this interval, you can effectively control spam postings.

Select oldest message first so that the correspondence will be displayed in the ascending order of date[first occurred correspondence will be shown first]. Selecting 'newest message first' will display the correspondence in the descending order of date[last occurred correspondence will be shown first] on the view ticket screen for admin/staff/user.

Allow Automatic Locking of Tickets: If this option is enabled, whenever a staff replies to a newly opened ticket (ie., for the first time), the ticket is automatically locked with the staff who has opened it as its owner. (Once a ticket is locked, only the owner of the ticket can do further operations on it.)
