The following information is used to determine reaction times and solution times:
Service agreements from the identity’s cost center
Service agreements from the identity’s department
Service agreements through the identity’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 to the ticket 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 identity’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.
Take into the account the following variations in order of priority to find out to which state the identity is assigned.
Priority 1: The identity is assigned directly to a state.
Priority 2: The identity’s location is assigned to a state.
Priority 3: The identity’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.
Identities that come into consideration:
The identity that logged the ticket
The help desk staff members who accepted the ticket
Because different states could be determined for these identities, processing is controlled by the Helpdesk | HoliDayRule configuration parameter. In the Designer, you can modify the configuration parameter as required.
