I have seen some canned reports in the BMC Analytics tool that actually look at the different Tiers of support for reporting. I think 1 report would show information to the effect of "Incidents that were escalated beyond Help Desk," so it would look at all support groups listed Tier 1-3...
Hope this gives just a tad bit more info.

Tier 1 to Tier x is a process function and not a function of the tool. At times companies will use the escalated designation to mean escalated to a tier 2 from a tier 1 and not management. I someone knows differently please enlighten me. hbr On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 4:03 PM, Charles Baldi <charles.ba...@gmail.com> wrote: ** The only functional significance I am aware of is the Help Desk role is used to set an Incident Owner if an owner assignment rule is not present. See the Inc User guide in the section on "Understanding incident ownership". As far as I can tell the other roles are informational. I would be interested in learning otherwise.

I have not found this in any documentation, but I hopefully just missed it. Can anyone help?
