This checklist outlines the steps to follow for effectively resolving IT helpdesk tickets. It ensures that issues are addressed systematically and efficiently, providing a clear path from ticket creation to resolution and closure.
Ensure the ticket is created with all necessary details, including user information, issue description, and any relevant screenshots or error messages.
Review the ticket for clarity and completeness. Determine if the issue is related to hardware, software, or network. Assign a priority level based on urgency.
Begin troubleshooting based on the type of issue reported. Use standard troubleshooting techniques and document any steps taken.
Keep the user informed throughout the process. Provide updates on the troubleshooting status and any required actions from their side.
Once a solution is identified, implement the fix carefully and verify that the issue is resolved. Test the solution thoroughly.
Document the issue, resolution steps, and any relevant notes in the ticketing system for future reference and knowledge base purposes.
Contact the user to confirm satisfaction with the resolution. Ensure that they can access the system or application without issues.
Close the ticket in the system, noting all actions taken and confirming that the issue is fully resolved. Optionally, send a follow-up email to the user.
