Resolving Incidents
About Resolving Incidents
You can resolve an incident when you are finished working on it and its associated tasks are complete. After you resolve the incident, the system notifies the requester of the resolution and either closes the incident or waits for a defined period of time before automatically closing it.
When an incident is resolved, the system updates the cost of the incident by rolling up the cost of all the associated tasks. 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.
