In upper right corner six buttons are available: Document template (create a document with data from selected ticket by using a document template), Lock ticket, Favorite, Info, Refresh, Edit (opens ticket in full Edit Mode) and Ticket Status Flow (clicking on the ticket flow button opens a popup that displays the graphic status of the flow ticket, more details here).
