The first operational screen we come across is the dashboard where we get alerts for the current activities. The dashboard is a quick way to view the current changes and activity which has taken place for the requests which the requester has in his account. For example if an approval requested by the IT-Service Engineer gets confirmed, there will be an alert generated corresponding to that request and will be viewable in the alerts window.
iSight generates automatic E-mail alerts to the user and the person(s) to whom the user wishes a copy of the mail to
be sent. These E-mails are generated when a request is assigned to an L1 remote support engineer or an IT service engineer, sent for approval to the users approving manager, sent for the third party resolution, closed/resolved.
