Peter, I think you're really dealing with 2 things. We have run into that issue here as well.
So your 1st issue is: Categorizing things like, "inquiry, call transfer, etc..." For that, we use Operational Cats. Tier 1 = Service Desk, Tier 2 = Call Transfer, Tier 2 = Inquiry, Tier 2 = Vendor solicitation. 2nd issue: How to record that a ticket has been misdirected or incorrectly assigned to a group. That one is something we are still hashing out but using Operational Cats can be hard. The reason is that no matter if the ticket was misdirected or not, if it's an error with software, we classify it Operationally as Tier 1 = Error, Tier 2 = Software. With that said, we are debating whether or not to create a field or some other method to let the Tier 2-3-xx support user flag the ticket as being incorrectly assigned. We have the BMC Analytics tool so I think our SD Manager has come up with a report that looks at Incidents that have a Total Transfer > 1 and then does some sort of voodoo for the rest J Hopefully this leads you in the right direction.

Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 11:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ITSM 7 Product Names for Help Desk redirected or misdirected calls ** Our Help desk is looking into running reports on all the incident tickets submitted by our IT staff and getting a breakdown of the number of tickets submitted with specific Product Names entered into the tickets. Many tickets are generated from templates by our call centers so we can provide a means for the Help desk to track most of the tickets with a proper Product Name. During a discussion on this, we are trying to come up with a Product Name and CTI for the times where people would call the Help Desk when the call should have been directed to a different staff since the call was basically misdirected. There are also times that a person calls to get conference in with another co-worker. We are not sure how those tickets could be categorized as far as a product is concerned. What have any others out there that use Incident 7 done for setting the Product Name for tickets such as these when creating tickets or even change requests?
