Describe impact instead of guessing priority
- State whether the issue affects one user, one device, one site, several sites, or all users.
- State whether a critical business or security function is unavailable, degraded, or only inconvenient.
- Identify any safe workaround and how long it can be used.
- Provide deadlines, scheduled events, or access windows that change the operational impact.
- Update the original ticket immediately if impact increases.
What DSE sets during triage
DSE uses the request details and system configuration to confirm department, queue, assigned staff or team, priority, and any applicable SLA plan.
A selected topic or stated urgency does not by itself promise a response or completion time.
