      User's Manual

      To view the widget go to the “Incidents” menu (Figure 3.1).

      Figure 3.1. Menu “Incidents”

       

      Figure 3.2. Incidents digest

       

       The incidents digest consists of graphs:

      • All incidents
      • VIP incidents
      • Critical incidents
      • Global incidents

      Graph name

      Tickets displayed in the graph

      All incidents

      All tickets that meet the condition:

      ●     Decision time on the ticket (SLA SolutionTime) exceeds the percentage specified in the settings (default 0%)

      VIP incidents

      Tickets that meet the condition:

      ●     Decision time on the request (SLA SolutionTime) exceeds the percentage specified in the settings (default 0%)

      ●     The ticket has the “VIP” sign (Dynamic “VIP” field contains the value “VIP”)

      Critical incidents

      Tickets that meet the condition:

      ●     Decision time on the request (SLA SolutionTime) exceeds the percentage specified in the settings (default 0%)

      ●     The ticket has the sign of the critical incident (Dynamic “ITSMImpact” field contains the value 5)

      Global incidents

      Tickets that meet the condition:

      ●     Decision time on the request (SLA SolutionTime) exceeds the percentage specified in the settings (default 0%)

      ●     The ticket has the sign of the global incident (Ticket type “Mass failure (Accident)”)

       

      When you click on the “Parameters” button a block with a list of all the available graphs is opened. With the help of checkboxes the display / hide of the graph on the screen is adjusted (Figure 2.3). To apply the specified parameters click on the "Save Settings" button.

      Figure 3.3. Parameters of incidents digest

       

      Each graph is a separate block, which contains the following elements:

      • Graph
      • Filtering parameters
      • Information on the number of incidents by agents

      3.1. Graph

      The graph shows category tickets (each category has its own color):

      • 1 line
      • 2 line
      • 3 line
      • Others

      The horizontal scale of the graph is made by the incidents (the divisions of the scale are the sequence numbers of the incidents).

      The vertical scale is made by the percentage of solution time exceed (SLA SolutionTime) for a ticket.

      Attention! If the percentage of exceeding the decision time on the ticket is above the maximum value (the default is “200”, it is adjusted in the settings), the maximum value is displayed on the graph, not the actual value. (For example, the maximum percentage of exceeding the decision time on the ticket is “200”. If the percentage of exceeding the decision time on the ticket is “500”, this value will be cut off and the value “200” will be displayed on the graph)

      When you click on an incident (a column in the chart, indicated in Figure 3.4) a window with detailed information about it is displayed (Figure 3.5); when you click on a number, the ticket is opened in a new browser tab.

      3.2. Filtering parameters

      To view the available filters, click the “Show Filters” button (Figure 3.6). If filters are displayed on the screen, you must click the “Hide Filters” button to hide them.

      Figure 3.6. “Show filters” button

       

      This will open the list of filters (Figure 3.7):

      • Queue
      • Service
      • Client

      When you choose a value in the drop-down list, the filter is automatically applied to the graph (Figure 3.7).

      3.3. Information on the number of incidents by agents

      In the block to the right of the graph, a table with information on the number of incidents by agents is displayed (Figure 3.8). Opposite to the name of the agent the number of incidents on the graph is displayed. Clicking on a  number of incidents in a new tab a list of tickets is displayed (Figure 3.9).
