reopen_count on [problem] table - how does this work?

I'm aware there is a reopen_count field on the [problem] table, but unlike incident, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to identify how this works.

 

When a problem is set to resolved, I have noticed there is a "Re-Analyze" button. I presume this will reopen the problem and increment the field by +1 - is this correct?

 

Does anyone know any other events that will cause the reopen_count field to increment for problem?

There is a OOB business rule named as "Reopen Count" please check that. @SB87

Hi,

I have checked but the BR set with this name only uses the [incident] table. There isn't another with the [problem] table listed, however I can confirm the [problem] table does have a reopen_count field available.

Hi @SB87 

 

I tested this in PDI and it is working. The only catch is if prb move from resolved or close to other state by Re-Analyse button.
