A Tier 1 help desk technician has spent an hour troubleshooting a complex software issue for a user. The technician has tried several solutions but has been unable to resolve the problem and must escalate the ticket to a Tier 2 team. To ensure a smooth handoff, which information is most essential for the Tier 1 technician to add to the ticket?
A note stating, "User software issue, needs Tier 2 assistance."
A full, unedited transcript of the one-hour remote session with the user.
The user's name, callback number, and the device asset tag.
A summary of the problem and a detailed log of the troubleshooting steps already performed and their outcomes.
When escalating a ticket, it is crucial to provide a clear and concise summary of the problem, list all troubleshooting steps that have already been attempted, and detail the results of those steps. This prevents the Tier 2 technician from repeating work and allows them to immediately start more advanced troubleshooting. Simply providing the initial problem description is insufficient, while a full conversation transcript is not concise. Using only technical shorthand can cause confusion if not universally understood.
