Requests

On this page you can see requests in ALVAO Service Desk. It is the default page for members of service resolution teams.

Options:

  • Command Panel - The panel displays commands for working with requests, depending on the status and number of requests selected. These commands can also be found in the local menu under the right mouse button. 
    • New request - create a new request, usually based on a call from the requester.
    • Reply to Requester - send a message to the Requester of the request. To maintain a single conversation thread with the requester, the message is sent in response to the last message from or to the requester (i.e., the requester is one of the recipients of the message sent or received) within the selected request.
    • Note - write a new note in the log of the selected request. You can select other event types from the drop-down menu of this command:
