Hi @codeananyagupta! :raised_hands:

Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm in contributing to HELPDESK.AI under GSSoC 2026! :rocket:

I have officially assigned you to this issue! Adding Ticket Export to PDF and CSV for the Admin Dashboard is a very valuable feature for our enterprise users.

Technical Implementation Steps:

1. PDF Export: Use a library like jsPDF or react-pdf to generate a styled ticket report PDF client-side.
2. CSV Export: Implement a utility that converts the tickets array to a CSV string and triggers a browser download.
3. Admin Dashboard Integration: Add Export buttons to the Admin Dashboard toolbar with appropriate icons.
4. Column Selection: Allow admins to optionally select which fields to include in the export.
5. Branch Rule: Ensure all your commits target the gssoc branch, NOT main.

Here is the mandatory onboarding process to get dashboard and testing access:

1. Go to the Deployed Website (not local): https://helpdeskaiv1.vercel.app/
2. Sign In: Click on the Sign In option.
3. Create Account: Click on Create Account.
4. Select Company: Select Ritesh Private Limited Company as your organization.
5. Verify and Reach Out: After verifying your email, reach out to Ritesh via WhatsApp, preferably by email at bonthalamadhavi1@gmail.com, or right here in this GitHub issue.
6. Access Approved: Ritesh will add your username to the system so you can test the application.
