## Locate Closed Tickets

Before you can reopen a closed ticket, you first need to locate it.  By default, the Self-Service Portal only displays your open tickets.  To get to the closed tickets, you will need to either put the ticket number in the global search, or perform a ticket search yourself.

{% hint style="info" %}
Some organizations may have added a home page widget for your recently closed tickets.  This is optional and may not always be present.
{% endhint %}

#### Option 1: Enter the ticket number directly in the Global Search

1. Enter the ticket number on the global search.
2. The Global search will return all ticket entities matching that number (Call, Requests, and Tasks).

#### Option 2: Search for Closed Tickets

You can also search for closed tickets using the portal ticket search for Incidents (Calls) or Requests.
