How to do Customer Request Handling
The concept of central support and triage (Team Avior is dissolved as of mid 2024). See the simplified first iteration process here. This page is outdated and will need to be rewritten/removed at some point, use what still makes sense with caution. |

Service Desk Issue Types
Type | Purpose |
---|---|
Service Request |
Customer requests support or a service. |
Information Request |
Customer requires information on our services and products. |
Problem |
The customer stumbled upon a problem in his systems or our services to them. |
Incident |
Customer reported a malfunction or interruption of services. And it needs urgent fixing … |
If you are unsure…
|
5. If urgent, alert the responsible team
-
It is urgent if a customer reports an Incident.
-
… if they are facing a problem, that has a bigger impact on their work or production sites.
-
… if a customer says so, believe them in a first instance.
-
As a curtesy to our colleagues, please alert Schedar, Vega, Nunki and TempAppOps for any incomming tickets, as they only rarely receive new customer-tickets.
⇒ Alert the Team via their team channel in Rocket Chat.
