Help Desk requests can be classified into:

Help Desk Diagram
See #Figure 1.
Help Desk Core activities
Initial Analysis
- analyze request
- interview user/ email request for additional info if required
- consult wiki to see if system behaves as defined in wiki spec or as defined by user (if system behaves as defined by wiki spec then it is not a bug it is a request for change)
If this is a bug:
- consult Mantis to see if this bug is already posted to mantis
- provide user with workaround if possible (if this is a bug)
- try to reproduce (if this is a bug)
If this is not a bug no a change:
- try to re-solve if possible
Escalate as required to right engineer: see #Resources
Bug Report
- Bug Report must have:
- good summary (one sentence describing bug, this will become "Mantis Summary" field / Release Notes summary)
- good description
- steps to reproduce
- screen shots, etc
- always reproducible? (Y/N)
- priority (mantis field "T") defined
Escalation
Escalation required if:
- task is too complex for current level
- current level is not supposed to handle this type of task
See #Figure 1.
Mantis
Some support tasks require task to be created in mantis.
Do not forget to link to proper Parent Mantis!
Each support task in mantis must be assigned to the person who is handling this task at the moment. Mantis#Status must be up to date.
All Support tasks are categorized into 3 mutually exclusive categories:
- bugs
- new components
- changes to existing components
- misc
Change Request
Requests for Change should initially go to the module owners, and then discussed at The CT2 Board meeting since they may impact other modules. The Board will then decide if they are necessary and should proceed for design and development.
