Triaging Help Desk calls

Hi all,

 

I was wondering how other institutions are handling calls to their helpdesk. Currently, we are putting all our calls, emails, walk-ins, etc. as Incidents but we want to triage this better if there's a better way to do it. We're running the Vancouver release at the moment.

We start by creating an Interaction.  If warranted, an interaction may become an incident.

 

In an ITIL framework, requests for tasks that aren't for something that I broken shouldn't be an incident.  They may become a Requested Item (RITM) or something else.

Great question.  As Tina has already mentioned, one option that would be worth considering is logging them as Interactions.

Great discussion - @rvargas - the issue is all the data records are directed to only one bucket (incident). According to the principles, all records are slushed on it's appropriate bucket based on the configuration/customization or the Business Rule. If still interested, we can discuss over this over a separate conversation.
