Service desk home
Agents start from their own queue, their groups’ unassigned work, SLAs at risk and what is on call.
- My open tickets, my breached tickets, unassigned in my groups and tickets at risk
- Approvals for me, active major incidents, changes this week and changes waiting for CAB
- On-call status and open pages
- My tasks and a created-versus-resolved chart for the last 14 days
- Available-for-assignment switch
Incidents and tickets

- Queues for mine, my groups, unassigned, all and breached
- Parent and child tickets, merge, tasks, time entries and canned responses
