Ticket types
There are three types of tickets: service request, incident, and problem.
A service request ticket documents the requestor’s
interaction with the Service Desk and contains a
request for some sort of service.
The requested service might be to resolve incidents.
Incidents are disruptions or potential disruptions in service availability or quality, and are tracked with an incident ticket.
These incidents can stem from problems. A problem is the underlying cause of one or more incidents, and is then tracked with problem tickets.
