Ranjith, Customer is the actual person wanting to report the incident who is impacted by it.. Contact is the person who is following up the status of the incident on behalf of the Customer, where in many cases the Customer Contact is the same as the Customer... The Customer will be notified of the Resolution while the Contact is notified about all other communication pre resolution..

I was wondering if somebody using Incident Management can answer the difference between Customer and Contact and the notification handling.

What is the OOB functionality for an Incident to Auto Close once the status has been resolved. Is there a definite time period say 24 hrs or 2 business days and Where do we configure it ? Also, What is the difference between Customer and Contact on the Incident Management Console. Who gets the closure notification and Survey? Thanks for your time in advance...
