Resolution to reopening

Verify resolution evidence under the customer policy and preserve the original ticket when a valid problem returns.

Step by step

  1. Record the proposed outcome Service Agent

    The assigned Service Agent prepares a Resolution event for the customer problem. Describe the outcome and the evidence supporting it. The organization, source identity, current revision and actor scope must be checked before applying protected changes.

    • Prepare the resolution evidence for the assigned problem
    • Updates Tickets, Ticket events
  2. Verify resolution Service Supervisor

    Service Supervisor reviews the evidence under the agreed customer policy. An eligible decision sets the ticket to Resolved with its resolution date. Confirm that the decision concerns the same ticket revision the reviewer examined.

    • Apply the reviewed customer outcome and resolution date
    • Updates Tickets, Ticket events
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  3. Close under policy Service Supervisor

    The configured customer policy governs progression from Resolved to Closed. Service Supervisor checks that the closure corresponds to the verified outcome. The closure rule should be agreed before the first operating cycle.

    • Close work according to the agreed customer policy
    • Updates Tickets
  4. Reopen valid returning work Service Agent

    Service Agent brings a valid new customer problem back through the reopening process. Retain the same ticket identity as it becomes Reopened, keeping the earlier events available for the person continuing the work.

    • Retain the ticket identity and prior event history
    • Updates Tickets, Ticket events

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Vague resolution. A message such as “fixed” does not explain what the reviewer or next agent should rely on.
  • Stale evidence. An older source revision must not overwrite a newer customer outcome.
  • Split history. A valid reopening should retain its original ticket so earlier interventions remain visible to the continuing owner.
