Access Service Desk Ticket from Dashboard

Accessing Service Desk Tickets

Any Service Desk Tickets created by the Dashboard are available from the Outages tab as well as the Check's More Information section.

Whichever method used the opened ticket includes the facility to add notes and time entries as well as view the ticket in Service Desk itself.

Please be aware that any information recorded or displayed against the Service Ticket on the Dashboard is in the default timezone. This is configured via Settings, General Settings, Office Hours select the Time Zone from the drop-down and OK once complete to save.

Whilst in Service Desk this information is recorded and displayed based on the timezone selected in ADMINISTRATION section, Administration, General Settings. Select the Timezone from the drop-down and Save Changes once complete.

Service Desk also includes the ability to configure the timezone at the user level. From the top-right user drop down go to Edit Profile, select the Timezone from the drop-down and Save Changes once complete.
