• Closure categorization
Check and confirm that the initial incident categorization was correct or, where the categorization subsequently turned out to be incorrect, update the record so that a correct closure categorization is recorded for the incident – seeking advise or guidance from the restoring group(s) as necessary.
• Incident documentation
Chase any outstanding details and ensure that the Trouble Ticket is fully documented so that a full historic record at a sufficient level of detail is complete.
• Ongoing or recurring problem
Determine (in conjunction with resolver groups) whether it is likely that the incident could recur and decide whether any preventive action is necessary to avoid this. In conjunction with Problem Management, raise a Problem Record in all such cases so that preventive action is initiated.
• Formal closure
Formally close the Trouble Ticket.
To utilize an automatic closure period on all Trouble Tickets, Trouble Tickets will be automatically resolve after 15 days if no further contact is made by the user.
