1. Status Flows Diagram

Every request that enter RMS will have to go through a series of status from the initial 'New', through to the final resolution and the 'Released' status.

A diagram showing the valid status flows of a request is shown below. The thick circle informs about e-mail sent to the user at that time. Currently an e-mail is *not* sent only when the request has the status 'Assigned'. Please note that you can suppress sending e-mail by setting field Owner to YES.
 

 

2. Status Meanings

It is possible to deduce the current state of a request by the status it has within the Remedy system. Below you will see a table listing all possible statuses, and their meanings. As well you will find detailed information about e-mail sent to the user.
