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.

Understanding escalation

Understanding escalation

When Service Desk tickets are escalated, email messages are sent to recipients as specified in the queue settings.

You can choose to send escalation email to:

•
Ticket owners
•
Ticket submitters
•
Users with the technical skills to resolve issues
•
Users with the authority to dedicate more resources to the problem

The Email on Events section of the Queue Detail page, and the Category CC list on each ticket, determine who receives escalation email messages.

Changing ticket escalation settings

Changing ticket escalation settings

Service Desk ticket escalation settings determine the actions that are taken when ticket priority or status changes.

Escalation email is sent for tickets with a priority of High and a status change from New to Opened. If a ticket owner does not respond to a ticket within 30 minutes, you can change the escalation settings to make the ticket eligible for escalation.
