Hi,
We have a rotating blackberry in a couple of departments that is used for on call support purposes. It would be nice if we could trigger an email to the blackberry for either a new request or problem that is created and not assigned to someone. It would be even better if we could trigger the alert based on a specific priority.
I suppose a technician of 'on call' could be created, but that is a waste of licenses and doesn't address the priority portion of the request.
Example 1:
On call staff are only required for P1 issues. Call comes in to the support group that a server is down. Support group is not able to fix server. Support group creates a P1 problem for the server group. However, no-one in the server group is in the office. By enabling a notification the blackberry could be contacted to notify the group.
Example 2:
On call staff are only required for P1 issues. Call comes in to the support group that a user is unable to connect to a server. Support group is not able to fix connection. Support group creates a P3 problem for the server group. However, no-one in the server group is in the office. No notification is generated as the server group will respond when next in the office.
