Customers can view and subscribe to Global Issues themselves
if they have appropriate permissions. This saves the Help Desk time by
allowing customers to identify their own problems and link to a central
Global Issue, rather than entering many Issues that address the same problem.
Allowing
customers to do so provides them with faster service, because they receive
updates automatically when the originating Global Issue is updated and
eventually resolved.
To view and subscribe to Global Issues:
In the FootPrints
Toolbar, select Global
Issues. A
pop-up window is displayed entitled Current Global Issues. This
contains a list of Global Issues currently affecting other users.
To view the full
description of a Global Issue, click the Title.
To subscribe to a
Global Issue, select Subscribe.
Once a customer subscribes
to a Global Issue, it is listed with the customer's Requests. The
customer receives email updates as the Global Issue is updated and eventually
resolved. The
customer can view the latest status at any time under View
My Requests.
