Call Status Titles

Analysts can select a Call Status Title when forwarding, deferring or closing a call, to indicate the status of the call (such as Resolved, In Progress, Investigation). You can create, rename and delete Call Status Titles, as well as change the order in which they are displayed.

  5. Define settings for the call status:
Default

Default status to display on the Call Defer window in Core, and the default status assigned to new calls created in Nano.

Only one status can be set as a default status.
Resolve

Default status to display on the Call Close window in Core.

Only one status can be set as a resolve status.
Parent Status

This setting applies only to Nano.

Select to designate a status as the parent of the statuses beneath it. Multiple parent statuses can be defined, turning each status between them into 'child' statuses of the parent above. Only statuses defined as Parents appear as columns in the Kanban layout in Nano, and each call appears within its parent status column.

Close

This setting applies only to Nano.

When a status with this setting is assigned to a call in Nano, that call is closed.

Closed calls can be reopened in Nano using the Re-Open button; changing the status will not automatically re-open it.

Selecting this status for a call in Nano will stop the SLA clock. Statuses without this setting will start the SLA clock.

Resume Service

This setting applies only to Nano.

Selecting this status on a call in Nano resumes service. SLA events will be closed; changing the status will not re-start the clock.
Image

This setting applies only to Nano.

Select an image from the list to indicate to users in Nano what function or action will be performed on the work item when it is saved with that status. Any image can be assigned to any status. Select None to display no image.

This table shows the corresponding image that appears in Nano per image name.

A status configured to close the call should be assigned the Close image.
