Manager

Analysts with this role can act as the request manager for a particular request. They can take over any request that has been forwarded to them or any group to which they belong.

When an Analyst with manager permissions logs a request, they are set as the request manager. If not, and the template is pre-authorized, the request manager will be the authorizer. If the template is not pre-authorized, the template creator will be set as the request manager.

Request Take Over

Analysts with this role can take over a request currently belonging to another Analyst or group, be delegated another Analyst’s requests and forward them on to other Analysts.

Manager must be selected to enable this option.

Request Forward Review Default

Analysts with this role can double-click on a request that has been forwarded to them (but not their group) to open it in review mode. If this option is cleared, the request will open in action mode, that is, the Analyst will take ownership of the request.

Manager must be selected to enable this option.

Request Authorizer

Analysts with this role can authorize requests. Select to enable the Authorization explorer option on the Request Details window.

Manager must be selected to enable this option.

Request Stop Clock

Analysts with this role can ‘stop the clock’ on an agreement (such as an SLA). While the clock is stopped, no further time is accumulated on the request for the purposes of the agreement, and no agreement events (such as escalations and breaches of agreements) can occur.

Manager must be selected to enable this option.

Request Change Agreement

Send User Surveys Manually

Analysts with this role are able to send user surveys ad-hoc on any closed request

Request Escalation

Analysts with role are able to manually escalate a request. This will create a new ticket using the specified template and link the escalated request to it, preserving the original ticket and allowing different notifications and actions against the new call.

Request Export Search View

This feature allows analysts and system administrators to create ad-hoc views for reporting purposes. Simply get the search results with the data you want to see, and then export the view. This can be provided to the reporting team for replication across reports, charts and dashboards.
