Caller types
Non-Tulane users
Non-Tulane users are listed as “dev user” or “Guest” in the Caller field. BEFORE TAKING ANY OTHER ACTION ON THE INCIDENT, copy the guest’s email address from the ticket and add it to the watch list and Save. This will allow us to use Additional Comments to communicate with them.
Tulane users
TU users are notified when we add Additional Comments or resolve a ticket. Tulane users can track their tickets' statuses and interact on their IT portal page: https://tulane.service-now.com/tulaneit/?id=it_incidents_requests
Adding notes to a ticket
Use the Notes tab in the activity stream to log work done on a request. It gives anyone else working the ticket an indication of the actions already taken. There are two types of notes: Additional comments and Work notes.
Additional comments and Work notes
Additional comments are used to interact with the caller. Work notes are not seen by the caller. Do not add callers to the Work notes list.
Click Post to save your comments.
Watch list
If the caller is listed as “Guest”, add their email address to the Watch list.
If you are reassigning the ticket but are interested in the outcome, you may want to add yourself to the Watch list. You will be notified when Additional comments are added.
All Additional comments are sent via email to everyone on the Watch list.
Work notes list
If you are reassigning the ticket but would like to be notified when Work notes are added, you may want to add yourself to the Watch list. NEVER add your caller to the Work notes list.
Work notes are sent via email to everyone on the Work notes list.
