Call Management: Call

This topic applies to systems using a Service Desk or Universal license only.

The Call process is a simple process for handling external calls. You can either close Calls directly, or resolve and then close them separately as a two-step procedure. If needed, you can return resolved or closed Calls to the Open status.

You cannot resolve or close a Call if there are any Tasks that have not been completed.
