Resolving and Closing Incidents

Resolving Incidents

Once the IT worker has resolved the incident, open the incident and change the status to "Resolved" and enter a date in the Resolved Date field. Use the Incident Properties page to make these changes. If the Assign Incidents process is active and running, setting the status of an incident to "Resolved" triggers a notification to the requestor to verify and confirm the resolution.

Note: To select and save a date in the Resolved Date field, you must have the Incident - Create/Edit access right.

Closing Incidents

Once the requestor has accepted the resolution of the incident, the IT worker should change the status of the incident to "Closed". This is done on the Incident Properties page. If the Assign Incidents process is active and running, setting the status of an incident to "Closed" triggers a notification to the requestor that the incident has been closed. This process does not change the status of an incident to "Closed".
