Fred,
How would you add a shortcut to the ticket using that
as an escalation method?
Does your system send the shortcut of the "Pending
Notification" and then use an On Open AL to open the real ticket?
When you
delete it how do you deal with the technicians who keep the shortcut as a "quick
Link" to their last ticket?
Never mind that last question. If they can't
figure it out I don't want them working on my PC
problems;^>

We
do something similar. What we do is on Create of a ticket we
push
to a table called "Pending Notifications". On any Modify of the
ticket we first delete any related records from the Pending Notifications (This
allows us to create any additional ones we need).
We run the Escalation
against the Pending Notifications table to send the emails. This way the
Ticket is not touched so the Last Modify info is left
alone.

Subject: Escalation reminder every X hours
Hello
Listers,
Congrats to the ARSlist Award winners.
ARS 6.3
MS SQL
Server 2000

Homegrown Helpdesk forms
Just as a sanity
check I thought I would ask if anyone has a good process for "send out an email
notification every X hours if the ticket is still at a status of
New"?
After the obvious failure of setting the escalation time to 2 Hrs (
Ticket entered 1 second after Esc doesn't go out in email for 3 hrs 59 minutes
59 seconds) I decided to put a field on the HD form that will be populated with
create time + 2 hrs.
The escalation will run every 5 or 10 minutes and check
the escalation time stored on create. It will increase the escalation time by 2
hours if the status is still New.
The Run If will be 'ESC_Time' <
$TIMESTAMP$ AND Status = "New"
The reason I am running this by the List
is that I wanted to know if there was a slicker way to do this.
Anyone? . . .
Bueller? Bueller?
