Issues States, Dispositions, and Resolutions

Customize your issue disposition workflows according your organizational needs

Issue Resolution Workflow

Issues can be moved through four states to track resolution. There are two decision points where signoff requirements can optionally be added to limit progress until the issue has been approved. Issues can also be moved backwards through the state workflow if necessary.

The ION issues state workflow

The following fields on an issue are editable in each state:

Issue Dispositions

ION issues have a Disposition field, representing a method or category of resolving the issue. Depending on the severity and nature of the problem, different methods could be used requiring different levels of approval within the organization.

The disposition field on an issue must be set before moving the issue through its workflow

ION Admins can configure the list of dispositions in the Organization Settings page. Each disposition has the following fields:

• Active controls if the issue disposition is selectable in an issue.

• Name controls what is shown in the disposition options

• Description

• Approver Roles lists the number and type of approver roles needed to move the issue from Pending to In Progress

• Closure Roles lists the number and type of approver roles needed to move the issue from Review to Resolved

Add custom dispositions for issues in Settings

Approvals and Comments

Users may comment on the issue and approve/disapprove the issue content and disposition. Click the “Approvals” option at the top right of the Issue window to see set approvers and a history of approvals and rejections for this issue.

To approve an issue, select a role and then select your name from the dropdown. Add your comment and click Approve at the bottom of the dialog.

With the team based notifications, a user and their team may be assigned to multiple approval requests. However, each user can only approve for one role on an issue.

Approving will approve required approvals and where the user is assigned first before approving on behalf of a team or additional approvals.

The reviews tab shows who approved, for what role, and the issue gate
