Escalation Information in InfoSheets

When escalating a ticket, always check the Service Infosheet for that service first. Escalation can be done in one of three ways, depending on how that group uses the ticketing system. We either assign a task to another group, reassign the whole ticket, or notify the appropriate group via email on the ticket.

Because of this unfortunate complexity, I have documented the best way to escalate a ticket in each of the service infosheets. You can usually find an infosheet by searching the KB for the service name and the word “infosheet”.

The Infosheets also cover other important details, so please check them out!

Outage and Maintenance Tickets

Please check the Outage and Maintenance ticket report at the start of each shift. The report includes parent tickets for ongoing issues or potential issues that we should be aware of. Often the parent tickets will have instructions about how to resolve an issue, or what information to collect from the customer. The report is linked to the default “Desktop” app in TeamDynamix and is also listed in RefTool under Documentation-> Outage and Maintenance Tickets.

You may also find it helpful to check the status.is.oregonstate.edu page for current and past outage information.
