ISC Provider Desk Frequently Asked Questions

Remedy

  1. I didn't get a incident ID or tracking number. Was I supposed to?
  2. Why does Remedy automatically close cases?
  3. I receive Remedy reports. I notice some of my cases have CINR in the Summary. What does CINR mean?

Q: I didn't get a case ID or tracking number. Was I supposed to?
A: Unless your question was answered to your satisfaction upon your first contact with ProDesk, you should have received a case reference number. Please feel free to request a Case ID if you are not given one.
 

Q: Why does Remedy automatically close cases?
A:

Remedy does not automatically close a case unless it has been marked as "resolved".

Remedy provides the ability to assign several different status types to cases including "assigned", "pending", "resolved", and "closed by system". When resolution comes to a case, the case is marked as "resolved" in Remedy by the case owner (ISC Networking, Information Security, ProDesk etc.). If the case status is not changed from "resolved" within 15 days from the date is was first marked as such, Remedy will automatically close the case, and its status will change to "closed by system".

More details about case status can be found by visiting the "Case Status - explained" page under "How ProDesk uses Remedy".

 

Q: I receive Remedy reports. I notice some of my cases have CINR in the Summary. What does CINR mean?
A:

Periodically, LSPs do not respond to ProDesk requests for additional information about a case or confirmation that a solution proposed by ProDesk has actually solved the LSPs issue. In instances where this occurs, ProDesk will send a final correspondence to the LSP that includes the following detail:

"If we don't hear back from you by <usually 5 business days after the date on which this correspondence is sent>, we'll assume this issue has been resolved for you and mark the case as such."

In cases such as this, ProDesk staff will flag the summary of the case with the letters CINR (close if no response) followed by a date after which the case can be marked resolved. Upon marking the case resolved, ProDesk will send a final notice indicating something like:

"We never heard back from you, so we're assuming that <the proposed solution> resolved your issue. We're going to mark this case resolved. Please let us know if you need us to reopen the case. If we don't hear back from you by <a date 15 days after the date the case is marked resolved>, the system will automatically close this case."
