The Analysts need to specify a Pending Reason for changing the status of a Problem Record (PR) to Pending. The Pending status indicates that additional information or response is required from the RCA Reviewer for further investigation of the PR. You can define the Pending Reasons for the Tenant based on the organization’s requirements.
Note:
An Analyst can select PR Status as Pending only when PR Status is RCA Reviewed. The SLA is paused when the Analyst selects the PR Status as Pending.
To configure Pending Reasons:
- Select Problem > Configuration > Pending Reason.
- On the PENDING REASON page, click ADD NEW on the ACTIONS panel.
- Select the Tenant and type in the Pending Reason in the Pending Reason field. If you select the Active check box, the Pending Reason becomes an available option in the Pending Reason list on the other pages of the application.
- Click SUBMIT. A new Pending Reason is configured.
