Creating an Incident (Outages)
For a visual depiction of this workflow, see the following image: Process Diagram
-
The Help Desk receives one or more customer contacts for an issue that is identified as a potential outage.
-
HDQA checks the outages page for any related open planned outages. HDQA then chats SNCC via Service Support Chat Room and confirms an outage should be declared.
-
If an outage is identified, SNCC should immediately begin creating an Outage.
-
HDQA receives the Incident from the agent(s) who handled the initial contact(s).
-
HDQA creates a problem in Cherwell by selecting New > Problem. HDQA then fills out the fields in the Identify and Classify section of the Problem with the information they gathered from the Incident(s). For assistance with Problem creation, reference: Help Desk Training - Create a Problem in WiscIT without the Problem Manager or Help Desk Training - Create a Problem in WiscIT with the Problem Manager.
-
When the Problem has been created and saved, HDQA clicks the team name in the Owned by pane and assigns the Problem to 'SNCC-Sysops' or 'SNCC-Network' as directed by the service handling doc or SNCC staff.
-
SNCC receives the Problem and links the Problem to the Outage from the Problem screen.
-
HDQA links the original Incident(s) and any additional relevant Incidents they have received to the Problem. For instructions on performing this step, see WiscIT - Linking an Incident to a Problem.
-
As calls continue to come in, Help Desk agents should link the Incidents to the Problem themselves. Level 1 agents should simply save the Incident at this stage; do NOT resolve these Incidents or escalate them to HDQA.
-
When the outage is resolved, SNCC will go into the open Problem and select the Resolve Attached Incidents link on left side of screen; this will email all customers that their Incidents should be resolved. The email will direct customers to contact the Help Desk if they believe the issue is still occurring.
-
If the problem needs follow-up investigation, SNCC will assign the Problem to the appropriate team.
After Hours Handling
After-hours should use same processes as business hours. Please use CMDB contact information for support escalation.
