Urgent Help Desk Ticket Guidance

  • Whomever at the Region is working with the Mapping Partner needs to validate that the issue is truly Urgent and should be cc'd for awareness and monitoring
  • Requestor should submit emails to Risk MAP IT Help for Urgent tickets at least 5 days in advance of the due date
  • Requestor should include the word "Urgent" in the subject line of the email
  • Requestor should include the due date in the body of the email
  • When the email is submitted, the requestor should receive an acknowledgement with the Ticket No.
  • Agents treat Urgent Tickets as high priority
  • If no update is provided to the requestor and the due date is approaching, the requestor may notify the Risk MAP IT Help Desk Manager
  • If a ticket was not Urgent when submitted but becomes Urgent because of the time it takes to resolve the incident, the requestor may reply to the ticket/email chain indicating that the issue has become Urgent
  • If a ticket is open, the requestor should reply to the email chain for that ticket so all correspondence is captured in that ticket's history in the Salesforce Ticketing System
  • Do not open new tickets for the same issue previously reported - this may delay the processing of the ticket
