When you submit a ticket you will see that it has a state and a status applied to it. Here’s what that means.
State
Indicates who’s hands the ticket is currently in and whether the ticket is active or inactive. There are 5 different states.
- Open - The ticket is active and with us. Further information on what we are doing with your ticket is provided via the status.
- Awaiting Information - We are waiting for additional information from you in order to progress the ticket. While in this state, our Service Level Agreement timers (SLA timers) will be paused.
- Pending - Work on your ticket has been paused as we have arranged a call or meeting with you to discuss your ticket further. The SLA timer has been paused while we await the call.
- Resolved – The ticket has gone through our process and our team have responded to you with an appropriate resolution. This could be in the form of an advice article, a successful license transfer, a fix for a defect, or a date you can expect the fix to be released.
You can still reply to 'Resolved' tickets if you require more information. Please note, if 24 hours passes without reply, we'll assume you are happy with the resolution, and the ticket state will be set to 'Closed'. - Closed - The ticket is no longer active and no longer being considered or worked on by our team. A ticket may be closed if the initial submission does not include all of the correct minimum requirements, if the ticket has been 'Awaiting Information' for 10 working days, or if the ticket has been 'Resolved' for 24 hours without further response.
Status
As your ticket is progressed through our system you will see the status change. This gives you an idea of where your ticket is up to and what we are doing behind the scenes.
- New - We have received your ticket and it is with our frontline response team, who will check your ticket meets minimum requirements.
