These aren't the "thank you" messages. The ticket still needs some type of further action and can't be closed just yet. What I usually do to clear the escalation view is re-assign the owner. The users will be trained on the proper use of the "answered" field (to prevent escalation), but setting the default to "Yes" will mean that they only have to change it to "No" in the rare circumstance that a they DO want a ticket to escalate if they don't respond.
As I said earlier, we really only want ticket escalation of new tickets. - Pete McDonnell Manager, Technical Services Hip Interactive > -----Original Message----- > From: N.R.
