Understanding Tickets

 

When you request any work that is not already defined, you need to create a ticket. 

You creating a ticket allows us, and you to:

  • Track the life cycle of your request.
  • Update or visit the request to add or get supporting information regarding that request. 
  • Keep all information regarding a request in one place.

It is not appropriate to request new work via phone call, text message or any other medium.  This is the best way to keep us accountable to you, and that's why we do it this way.

 

Types of Tickets

You will need to understand which type of ticket to file and when:

 

Support Request:  For issues that are request driven.  Any new request, including feature requests, research or change requests fall under this category.  Support requests are prioritized and worked on in the priority order agreed upon / requested.  Support requests are closed when the requirements of the request have been fulfilled, and when the client has validated such.

 

Incident:   For issues that are exceptions to normal operation.  For example, a server is down or malfunctioning.  Incidents are normally considered medium severity when compared to other issues, and can be considered critical severity depending on the issue.  Incidents are closed when the issue is corrected, and we receive validation from the client that the issue has indeed been resolved.

 

Feedback:  For general feedback not relating to a request or an incident.  Any feedback relating to existing incidents and requests should be completed inside of the ticket itself.

 

Note: Ticket types may be subject to change.
