Closing Incidents
•Using "Quick Close" to Close an Incident
About Closing Incidents
Coding and closing the incident lets you determine when incidents are resolved and helps you classify root causes.
When an incident is resolved, the system notifies the customer, who has the option of changing the status of the incident if the resolution is not satisfactory. After a certain number of days in the resolved status, the system automatically sets the incident to closed.
By default, the requester has 7 business days to respond to the incident resolution; otherwise, the system sets the incident status to closed.
When an incident is resolved, the system updates the cost of the incident by rolling up the cost of all the associated tasks. The system also updates the cost when the incident is closed (in case additional tasks were completed after the incident was resolved). Along with the cost, the system also rolls up the time specified in the Actual Effort field of each completed task to show the total time spent on the incident, as shown in the Time field.
