Take OwnershipThe owner of a problem is responsible for managing the work associated with that problem. You can either select an owner of a problem or take ownership yourself.
In the Problems (SP) application, display the record for which you want to take ownership.
From the Select Action menu, select Take Ownership. The system assigns the logged in user as the owner and changes the status of the record to QUEUED. (The exception to this occurs if the status is RESOLVED; in such a case, the status does not change.)
Note: After taking ownership of the problem, you might start the timer, so you can capture time spent working on it.
