Using the ticket escalation process

Using the ticket escalation process

Understanding ticket states

Understanding escalation
Changing ticket escalation settings
Change the list of escalation email recipients
Change the Response and Resolution time limits
Change the default escalation email message

The Service Desk ticket escalation process is a mechanism for alerting Service Desk staff and supervisors when a ticket is ignored for a specified period of time.

When a ticket meets certain criteria, email is sent to the specified group alerting them that a ticket has been ignored. This provides a way to monitor service level agreements and automatically notify the appropriate staff members when a ticket has not been handled properly.

An escalation email is sent at the end of the escalation time limit for tickets with:

•
A Status of Opened.
•
A Priority that includes an escalation time.

The following example shows the default ticket statuses, priorities, and escalation settings. These settings direct the Service Desk to send an escalation email for tickets with a Status and State of Opened and a Priority of High, after 30 minutes of inactivity.

You can:

•
Configure an escalation email for tickets with other priorities.
•
Change the escalation time limits.
•
Determine who receives an escalation email.
•
Customize the email form as needed.
* 
NOTE: Ticket escalation and Service Level Agreements are two separate notification activities. Ticket escalation notifications are based on the duration a ticket has been opened for, while Service Level Agreement notifications are based on the due date of a ticket. Ticket escalation does not consider Business Hours and Holidays.

Understanding ticket states

Understanding ticket states

Service Desk ticket states identify the current state of the ticket. States include Opened, Stalled, and Closed.

Tickets can be escalated only if they are in the Opened state. This requirement is not configurable.

* 
NOTE: Using the default settings, tickets must have a priority of High and a status of Opened to be escalated.

Understanding the escalation time limit

Understanding the escalation time limit

As soon as a Service Desk ticket is assigned the state of Opened, a timer begins counting toward the escalation time limit.

Any change to the ticket resets the timer. If the timer runs out, an escalation email is sent and the timer starts again. If no changes are made to the ticket, the timer is reset. An escalation email is sent each time the escalation time limit is reached. By default, the escalation email is sent every 30 minutes until the ticket is changed.
