    Core ITSM topics

    Check IT Ticket Status

    Check the status of your IT ticket.

    Once the conversation is initiated, it progresses by collecting data about the ticket one question at a time.

    Escalate IT Ticket

    Raise the urgency of your IT ticket for a faster resolution. Escalating a ticket priority requires choosing the incident and verifying the escalation.

    Users must provide a justification to escalate the incident. Virtual Agent escalates the incident to the next urgency level. For example, from low to medium, or from medium to high.

    If an incident is already at high-level urgency, Virtual Agent alerts the user to this and asks if the user would like to add a comment to help expedite resolution.

    Open IT Ticket

    Open a ticket leveraging machine-learning algorithms with application logic for predicting similar open tickets.

    Prevent users from opening duplicate incidents by finding similar incidents and asking if the user wants to add comments to the similar incident.

    Service Disruptions

    Access all known outage information.

    When a user asks if a particular system is down, Virtual Agent returns a list of links displaying planned or unplanned outages and any system degradations.

    Users can click the links for more detailed information about a specific outage or degradation, as well as click Show more when additional outages are known.
