Identity Manager 9.0 LTS - Help Desk Module User Guide

Calculating reaction and solution times of calls

The following information is used to determine reaction times and solution times:

  • Service agreements from the employee’s cost center

  • Service agreements through the employee’s department

  • Service agreements through the employee’s business roles

  • Service agreements for the product

  • Default settings from configuration parameters

    The Helpdesk | ReactionTime configuration parameter contains the default time in minutes in which a reaction should take place. The default value is 10 minutes.

    The Helpdesk | SolutionTime configuration parameter contains the default time in hours in which the issue must be solved. The default value is 48 hours.

    In the Designer, you can modify the configuration parameter as required.

Minimum reaction and solution times are determined from all these agreements. Subsequently all the data that has been determined is rounded up to the next working day. The working day is determined by taking the employee’s public holidays into account. Public holiday are entered by state (county) in the One Identity Manager. You can add separate public holidays for states. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

Take into the account the following variations in order of priority to find out to which state the employee is assigned.

  • Priority 1: The employee is assigned directly to a state.

  • Priority 2: The employee’s location is assigned to a state.

  • Priority 3: The employee’s business role is assigned to a state. If there are several business roles with different states they are sorted alphabetically and the first state is taken.

Employees that come into consideration:

  • The employee that logged the call

  • Help desk support that logged the call

Because different states could be determined for these employees, processing is controlled by the Helpdesk | HoliDayRule configuration parameter. In the Designer, you can modify the configuration parameter as required.

  • To exclude weekends from the working hours calculation, in the Designer, set the QBM | WorkingHours | IgnoreWeekend configuration parameter.

Determining time and effort for calls

The total time and effort is calculated by totaling all processing times. Internal overheads are calculated from processing times that are marked with the internal option. The remaining call processing times make up billable overheads.

To display a call's processing time

  2. Select the call in the result list and run the Time and effort task.

    This shows you an overview of the total processing time required for a call and detailed information about the processing time required for each individual call.
