Change Status of Multiple Incident Tickets

You can change the status of multiple incident tickets manually. Sometimes, the status of the incidents changes automatically. For example, after you assign an owner to multiple incidents, the status of those incidents changes to QUEUED. All globally-related incidents update when you change the status of multiple global incidents.

You might need security authorization to change a status manually.

To change the status of multiple incidents:

  1. On the List tab in the Incidents (SP) application, select the Select Records check box at the bottom of the page. A check box opens next to each record on the List tab.

  2. Select the incident records whose status you want to change. You might need to narrow your result set before you can select records.

Note: To select a record, click the Select Record check box.
To cancel a selection, clear the check box.
To select all records in the result set, select the check box next to the column header.

  1. From the Select Action menu, select Change Status, or in the Toolbar, select or click Change Status to open the Change Status dialog box.

  2. In the New Status drop-down list, select a new status.

  3. If appropriate, you can change the date in the Status Date field and enter information about the status change in the Memo field.

  4. Click OK to apply the status change and update the Status field.

Note: If you change records to a RESOLVED status, and you own those records, you might want to stop the timer or otherwise report time spent resolving the issues.
