Priority: Low
Product: Helpdesk
Group: Enhancement
Time Taken: 24.00 (Weight: 25.00)
Assigned To: Development
Circulation: Aarti Pooja Gayaneshwar, Development, Sanjay
Resolve By: Friday, 28 April 2023 02:39 PM [632 days since logged date]
Status: Closed
Subject: Automatic Call closure feature
Summary:    
Our client has requested for a feature whereby if a case with the status as "Resolved/On Hold"  has not been actioned for a specified number of hours, the case should be closed automatically with a  defined comment. This is an important feature required to minimize the call load and response time by their clients/staff. Case needs to be assigned to the user who has logged the case when it is closed.

Improvements Required

We have analyzed the Helpdesk features and have found automatic escalation to be the best-suited method to achieve the above business scenario. However, the following change would need to be done to facilitate:

  1. Add a status selection filter. This would determine which cases are to be closed. For example, if the status is selected as "Resolved", then all cases having status as "Resolved" and unattended for X hours will be closed.
  2. Notification should be sent to all users in the case notification.
  3. Date and Time the call is Closed to be updated on the cases
  4. The comment field should be a configurable field.
