About the Service Desk Dashboard widgets

About the Service Desk Dashboard widgets

Service Desk Dashboard widgets provide overviews of Service Desk tickets for the organization or appliance, as selected.

This section describes the widgets available on the Service Desk Dashboard. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the widgets show the information for the selected organization at the Admin level and for the appliance at the System level.

This dashboard provides a high-level overview of your device usage. Use it to quickly review the state of your devices and look for any indicators that can improve your ticket management. For example, you can see the numbers of active or overdue tickets per owner.

The title, chart type, and grouping of items in some widgets can be updated. The grouping options vary slightly between these widgets.

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.
