Overview of Service Desk ticket lifecycle

Overview of Service Desk ticket lifecycle

Service Desk tickets progress through several stages during their lifecycle.

These stages include:

1.
The ticket is submitted, either through the User Console, the Administrator Console, or through email. See Creating tickets from the Administrator Console and User Console and Creating and managing tickets by email.
2.
The ticket is assigned to an owner according to the ticket rules. See Configuring ticket settings and Using Ticket Rules.
3.
The ticket owner reviews the ticket, adjusts the impact if necessary, and assigns a priority.
4.
If Service Level Agreements are enabled on the queue where the ticket resides, the ticket due date is calculated based on the priority.
5.
If the issue is straightforward, the owner resolves and closes the ticket, and email notifications are sent. See Configuring email settings.
6.
If the ticket is complex, the ticket might stay open for a period of time and have multiple owners.
7.
If the owner is unable to resolve the ticket within its escalation time limit, the ticket is escalated. See Using the ticket escalation process.
8.
When tickets are closed, users can complete a satisfaction survey to provide feedback about the way the ticket was handled. See Using the Satisfaction Survey.
9.
The ticket is archived. See Archiving, restoring, and deleting tickets.
