Desk Phone RoutingWhere a phone ticket goes, who works it at each step, and the one field that decides.

Intake splits on request type

The moment a request lands, what was asked for decides who picks it up. Only a new line starts the full pipeline — everything else is a single team's work.

IT Support Techs
  • New Line or New Room Phone
  • Phone Not Working
  • Move Phone or Number

These need a tech on site. Only a new line opens at Physical Review and runs the pipeline below.

Telecom
  • Add or Change IVR

Configuration work on a line that already exists. No site visit, no hardware.

IT Service Desk
  • Voicemail PIN Reset
  • Voicemail to Email

Everything else. Self-service-shaped requests that close on first touch.

The port check is the fork that matters

A tech goes to the room and looks at the jack. Port Status is the field that moves the ticket — the routing reads it and sends the case three different ways. Nobody has to set the stage by hand.

Port Status

Set at Physical Review. Each value routes to a different team — or ends the case.

The new-line pipeline

Five stages, and assignment follows the stage — so moving a ticket by hand routes it exactly the same way the automation does. It steps through the stages on its own — select one to hold it there.

Referred to Facilities

A terminal stage, not a hand-off. No cabling exists, so the case is closed and the work restarts as a Facilities request once the drop is in.

Closed

Dial tone confirmed with the requester. Resolution Details and Resolved By should both be filled before the case leaves the queue.

Staff vs Queue Name

Two different things. Staff is who is working the ticket and changes as it moves between teams. Queue name is a filter label, not a group anyone belongs to — nobody is added to a queue, people filter their list views by it. A provisioning ticket sits under queue name Telecom while Staff is whoever there picks it up.

Staff clears on hand-off

Every stage change clears the assigned Staff member. Without that, the last team's tech stays attached to a ticket another team is now working.
