    • Ticket expired

    • Ticket about to expire

    • Rejected

    • More information required

    • Resubmit

    • Ticket confirmation

    To manage an Attention Required ticket, click on its status. The ticket appears at the bottom of the screen.

    Depending on the ticket status, you can:

  • Delay the expiration date

  • Open request to remove access - use a Remove Access workflow to open a new ticket with the details of the expired ticket. The expired ticket shows a link to the ticket to remove access, and the ticket to remove access shows a link to the expired ticket.

  • Acknowledge rejected tickets - Let's the requester or handler read the reason that the ticket was rejected.

  • Provide more information -The requester is asked to reply to a request for more information.

  • Resubmit the request

  • Confirm that the ticket was handled

    • Once the reason for "Attention Required" is handled, the request no longer appears with the status Attention Required.
