Applies to User Roles:

Service Desk Agent

You can close an existing Service Desk interaction record if the user accepts the proposed solution. If you or the user disagree with the proposed solution, do not close the interaction. Instead, resubmit the related incident for further investigation. Depending on your company policy, you may also need to document the interaction's solution in a knowledge base for future use.

To close an existing Service Desk interaction record, follow these steps:

Click Service Desk > Interaction Queue. Service Manager displays the list of open interactions.
Locate the Service Desk interaction record that you want to close.
Use the contact for this interaction to determine which user to notify of the solution.
If the user accepts the solution, select a closure code, and then click Close Interaction. If the user rejects the solution, reopen the related incident or create a new incident, and then link the incident to the unsolved interaction.
