Initiate Close Comments Button

The Initiate Close Comments button is available when the ticket status is in any state except CANCEL and CLOSED. When the button is clicked, the application provides a Note text field. The Note text field also indicates that the request to initiate close the ticket will be reviewed by the administrator and it cannot be closed if there is/are any associated child tickets.

After entering the note and clicking the Initiate Close Comments button in the text field:
  • The application adds the pre-defined text below at the top of the customer's note:
    Important: The customer requested to close this ticket. Please review if there is any associated ticket. If not, close the ticket.

    Entered by customer: <UID>" <the first entered note> ... <the last entered note>
  • If any errors occur (such as communication failure, server failure or database failure), the application displays the following error message:
    Please try again at a later time. If the problem still exists, please call 1-800-221-0000.

Escalate Ticket Button

The Escalate Ticket button is available when the ticket status is in the QUEUED, ACTIVE, DEFERRED, or CLEARED state. When the button is clicked, the application provides a Request Ticket Escalation field. You should request escalation for a ticket only if you are not satisfied with the progress on the ticket.

Note: Not all services allow escalation. The button will not display for services that do not allow escalation. For each service that does allow escalation, there is a time window during which only one escalation request can be made for a ticket. If an escalation was recently requested for the ticket and the time window has not yet expired, then a message displays the escalation interval for the service type and how many minutes must elapse before the ticket can be escalated again.

After you enter a description of the reason for the escalation in the text field provided, and select the Submit Escalation button, the escalation request is added to the ticket.

If any errors occur (such as communication failure, server failure or database failure), the application displays the following error message:
Please try again at a later time. If the problem still exists, please call 1-800-221-0000.
