Reopened Incidents

Description

The Reopened Incidents report breaks down all incidents that were ever marked closed by status (reopened and non-reopened) and then by service type (Applications, E-mail/Webmail, Intranet/Internet, My Devices, Printing, Service Management, etc.). Using a pie chart, this report provides an overview of the number of incidents that were reopened because the solutions were not accepted by the customer, relative to the number of incidents closed in a given time period. You can double-click any piece of the pie to display a detailed breakdown of that status by service. This report organizes the information into groups and sub-groups to provide a quick view of percentage of reopened incidents.

Customer Value

This report provides information about the quality of the Incident Management process. Reopened incidents imply extra workload for the support groups and a threat for the Service Level Target dates. Incidents reopened by the Service Desk Agent indicate that the solutions provided did not satisfy the customer, the support group did not do a good job, or the service disruption was due to incorrect diagnosis. Note that this report does not refer to incidents that were recreated, because not all interactions were closed by the solutions provided.
