Handover Guide — Department Admin

Everything this role can see and do — daily workflow, the rules that matter, and answers to common questions.

Mission

Run your department's desk: everything Helpdesk Staff can do, plus Level-1 escalations land on you and you can move tickets between departments.

What you can see

  • Everything dept_staff sees (your department)
  • Level-1 escalations for your department in the Escalation console
  • Team workload on the dashboard (open/closed per handler)

What you cannot do

  • Escalate above Level 2
  • IT verification (Supervisor/Master only) or /admin (Master only)

Step-by-step workflow

  1. File tickets for companies on phone/WhatsApp/walk-in requests (Quick actions → "File ticket for a company") and move misrouted tickets to the right department — both available to all staff, including your team.
  2. Review the Audit log (Quick actions) for your own actions and everything affecting your department.
  3. Watch the Escalation console — every L1 in your department lands there with the raiser's reason.
  4. Act on escalated tickets: notes, resolution or further escalation to L2 (Supervisor).
  5. Transfer misrouted tickets to the correct department (active departments only) with a reason — the timeline records it.
  6. Balance load using Team workload; reassign freely within the department.
  7. Close guidance tickets directly after answering; complaints go through customer confirmation.

Business rules to remember

  • Moves require an active target department and a written reason (min 10 chars) that the company can see; the receiving department gets a fresh SLA clock while the old one is recorded.
  • Company rejections of a fix auto-escalate to L1 — you are the first reviewer.
  • Your audit view is scoped: your actions + entries touching your department.

FAQ / Troubleshooting

A company rejected our fix.

The ticket auto-escalates to L1 with their reason. Review, either fix again (in_progress) or reject upward with justification.

Can I verify tickets?

No — final IT verification is an independent check by Supervisor/Master Admin.
