Impact Codes

Impact codes measure the significance of a ticket on the functioning of the system. For example, if a change order could affect the functioning of the entire system, it would be assigned a high impact. Impact codes are referenced in requests and change orders only; therefore, they apply only to internal and combined service desk models.

Note: Impact and urgency codes are similar, but they have distinct purposes.
