INTRODUCTION About TicketXpert INTRODUCTION About TicketXpert Welcome to TicketXpert, a web-based support desk system that allows you to enter, track and update your Accellos support requests. With TicketXpert, your tickets follow a predefined workflow that tracks every action taken in connection with a support issue from initial ticket entry to final acceptance of a solution by the end-user. Each step of the way, automatic e- mail notifications are generated to affected users whenever a ticket s status changes or more information is required to investigate an issue. Outstanding tasks in connection with a ticket are shown on the TicketXpert Activities List, making it easy to see at a glance what action is required on your part before a given ticket can be resolved. The following table shows the workflow of a typical ticket in TicketXpert. You Accellos Ticket Status You enter your ticket in New Ticket program New Accellos accepts the ticket If more information is required, Accellos sends you a request Assigned Requesting information You reply with the requested information Request responded to Accellos receives the information and starts working on the ticket Accellos assigns the ticket to the appropriate area In process In Development or in Technical Services ACCELLOS HELPDESK CUSTOMER GUIDE 2.0 3

You Accellos Ticket Status Accellos proposes a solution Resolved You reject the solution You accept the solution Solution rejected Closed About Knowledge Base TicketXpert also includes a fully integrated searchable Knowledge Base that is available to all Accellos customers with a current maintenance contract. The advanced search capabilities of the Knowledge Base make it easy to find standardized solutions to common issues. About this Manual This manual is intended for end-users of TicketXpert (that is, Accellos customers) who need to enter, look up, edit and close support tickets as well as access the Knowledge Base. Additional Documentation The Accellos Helpdesk Internal Support Guide is intended for Accellos employees and business partners who need to receive new tickets, assign tickets to users/groups, resolve tickets or escalate them to Accellos, assign deputies and perform various other administrative functions.

New ticket e-mail Understanding Priorities Priorities are system calculated by multiplying the severity value by the impact value by the frequency value to arrive at a value out of 100. The highest possible priority is 100 (very urgent), while the lowest priority is 1 (extremely unimportant). TicketXpert adds 1,000 to this value to ensure correct sorting in your browser. Ticket List showing priority 1012 For example, suppose the severity of a ticket is 4 (Critical issue no workaround available), the impact is 2 (A single user is affected) and the frequency is 4 (Happens very frequently). The priority within TicketXpert will be calculated as follows: 4 * 2* 4 = 32 out of 100 = 032 = 1032 (1,000 added to value to ensure correct sorting in your browser). 12 2.0 ACCELLOS HELPDESK CUSTOMER GUIDE
