Overview

If you have a multi-tier support desk, where First-Level Support Analysts log the Requests, you may not want upper-level support Analysts creating Requests. You can't prevent this, but you can configure to

The process is to create a single Request Class and Request Type that only First-Level Support Analysts will have access to. Requests created via End User web interface or email will be assigned to this Request Class. The First-Level Support Analysts will then reassign the Request Class and Request Type when they assign to Second-Level Support Analysts.

If an upper-level Analyst creates a Request, it will be reclassified and sent to First-Level Support, where it can be reviewed and then given a Request Class, Request Type and assignment.

Use

When a Request is created by an Analyst, it's tested for the Request Class. Non-First-Level Analysts won't see the Logging Request Class, so they'll use something else. The Request will be assigned via Skill Load Balancing to the Logging Analyst Group. They will then review and assign.
