## Transmission of the incident between shifts

Within a few hours, one application can generate a dozen messages, diagnostic attempts and reassignment records. Now Assist for ITSM offers a summary of the incident and separate opportunities to generalize communication with the applicant and prepare notes on the decision. These actions work in the context of ServiceNow and use the available information of the application. The exact set depends on the version and the skills included.

Summary helps to quickly restore consistency, especially when part of the checks were made by different employees. The history of the application remains a place where you can see what really happened.

## Separating the symptom from the eliminated cause

For training check, start an incident with an inaccessible printer. In the first comment, assume a device malfunction, in the next fix the connection recovery after replacing the cable, and leave the cause of the failure unconfirmed. Compare the summary with the chronology. Words about replacing the cable are acceptable, and the final conclusion about the printer itself should be removed.

If the closure involves a check from the applicant, leave this as a separate line. Check if the scheduled call has turned into an already made one.

## Role of staff

Administrator determines access to Now Assist skills. Before inclusion in the work queue, check which fields read the skill and where the proposed text gets. The decision note is viewed by an employee who knows the status of the incident. For quality control, it is useful to separately compare the facts, assumptions and steps performed.
