Workflow

There are two basic roles that are involved with the workflow of a Helpdesk issue. These are the IT Support role and the IT Support Manager role.

As shown in the following matrix, the IT Support person can create new issues and move them to the Open status, and they can fix an issue. They may mark the issue as Fixed at the time they answer the initial call, or after opening the issue and returning to it. The IT Support person cannot Close issues, as this is the responsibility of the IT Support Manager. Of course, the system administrator may change this!

The IT Support Manager may follow the same workflow as the IT Support personnel, and they can also Close issues. They may also Open a Closed issue if necessary.
