Helpdesk Resolution, Closure and Reopen

Summary​

Dedicated actions set Resolved, Closed and Reopened and produce corresponding timestamps, activity evidence and events. Resolution and closure mark open SLA records met.

Audience​

Employees, agents, HR administrators, product, QA and support.

Business Purpose​

Record completed work, distinguish completion from administrative closure and permit continued work after reopening.

Actors​

Agents or administrators invoke completion actions; requesters receive resolved/closed notifications; assignees receive reopened notifications.

Business Process​

Responsibilities​

Agents should verify completion before resolution and follow approved closure criteria. Product owners must define requester acceptance and reopening conditions if required.

Business Rules​

Resolve records the resolution timestamp. Close records the closure timestamp. The dedicated reopen action clears closure time but retains resolution time. Resolved and Closed mark outstanding SLAs met. No mandatory resolution text is required.

Integrations​

Notification Service targets the requester for resolved/closed events and the assignee for reopened events. Reporting uses resolution duration and status counts.

Limitations​

No enforced predecessor state, requester confirmation, auto-close window, resolution code, closure reason, reopen reason or SLA reset exists. The generic status action can bypass dedicated behaviors.

Requires Confirmation​

Completion criteria, requester acceptance, auto-closure, reopened SLA treatment, authority to close/reopen and retained resolution timestamp semantics require confirmation.
