The system keeps complete track of ticket assignment, escalation performed at different times, any modifications done by the user with exact date and time etc.
Assigning Resources:
The eTRAKS is designed to handle unlimited assignment of Analysts or
Analyst Groups. In addition, system can also generate notifications by email or SMS to the assigned persons.
Escalating Resources:
The eTRAKS is designed to handle an unlimited amount of escalations. In addition to manually escalating Service Tickets, escalation triggers can be created to have Service Tickets automatically escalated based on criteria that is set within the Escalation Trigger.
Approval Process:
In several complaints, one or more tasks often need approvals. eTRAKS provides an approval feature by which a user selects an analyst as approver and submits ticket. The ticket will be in status ‘In Review’ until it is approved by that person.
Assigning Tasks
This feature can be used to assign analysts specific tasks or procedures that need to be carried out in order to properly diagnose/resolve a particular issue or carry out a service. Once the task has been set to complete, at which point the individual or group who assigned the task can review the details and proceed with resolving or carrying out the required service.
Software & Hardware Assets
The assets assigned to a client can be viewed from the Assets tab. Here, both hardware and software asset information is maintained. The assigned assets can also be viewed when creating a service ticket to get a quick reference.
Vendor and Client Profiles
Vendors or suppliers information can be managed as well as Client information including business and technical information can be recorded. It also enables users to upload any file associated with the client.
Child Tickets
There are situations that may arise where you receive service ticket inquiries that are related to the same service request or system problem. The eTRAKS allows you to easily associate tickets with the same problem or issue to a Parent Ticket. All associated tickets that are related to the parent are its children.
Service Level Agreements (SLA)
There are two types of SLAs supported by the application. Internal SLA which are for providing or receiving support within your organization, and External SLA which are for providing or receiving support outside your organization. SLA can also be associated with escalation rules in Escalation Triggers.
