This really goes against best practices; if possible I would push back :) Assigned typically implies "Ownership and/or responsibly" has been established Proper notification goes to the Assigned to Group or Individual Work In Progress implies - Active Work is being performed on the "Issue" that not only has Ownership/Responsibly been established, but the appropriate support group/individual is actually doing something about it. If no additional work can be performed (numerous reasons for this) The Pending/Hold/Awaiting is logical
My .02 Doug -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Martinez, Marcelo A Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 2:01 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Status = Assigned I've been asked to look into disabling how an Incident status changes to "Assigned" if one support group assigns the ticket to another support group (or person in a different support group). The request from management is that once the incident is in "work in progress" status, it should stay that way regardless of support team re-assignment. ARS7.1 / ITSM 7.0.03 Is this possible??
