The Take Over action

Overview

You can Take Over one of the following configuration items:

  • Task
  • Incident
  • Problem
  • Service Requests

By Taking Over a task, incident, or problem, you signal that you have started working on it. In other words, the work on this task, incident, or problem is in progress.
By Accepting a task, incident, or problem, you signal that you plan to take care of it, say, during the next two weeks.

  2. In the navigation area, click the search page containing the respective configuration item (e.g. Incident).
  3. Select any item in the list that can be taken over. Preview opens.
