Interaction Escalation (process SO 0.3)

When an Interaction is received, the Service Desk Agent first determines if the Interaction is a service request, a request for change, a problem or an incident, and if so, logs the request.

You can see the details of this process in the following figure and table.

Interaction Escalation (SO 0.3) is illustrated in the following figure:

Interaction Escalation (SO 0.3) process
