Managed Services

Managed services connects the client workspace to the ProjectDesk operations team. It is used when a team needs help resolving a field, data, coordination, or workflow issue. Open Operations, then select Services.

What Managed Services Is For

Use managed services when normal workspace activity needs direct support from the ProjectDesk team. Examples:
  • Field data needs quality review.
  • Evidence appears inconsistent.
  • A location is falling behind.
  • A team needs help understanding the workflow.
  • A manager wants ProjectDesk to investigate an operational issue.

Service Cases

A service case is a support request inside a workspace. When creating a case, enter:
FieldMeaning
TitleThe issue that needs help
PriorityLow, normal, high, or urgent
The case appears in the managed services console.

Priority Levels

PriorityUse when
LowThe issue is useful to resolve but not blocking work
NormalThe issue needs attention during regular operations
HighThe issue could delay important work
UrgentThe issue needs immediate attention to prevent serious disruption

Resolving Cases

ProjectDesk services users can mark service cases as resolved. A case should be resolved only when:
  • The issue has been addressed.
  • The requester can continue work.
  • Any needed follow-up has been recorded elsewhere in the workspace.

What Managed Services Is Not

Managed services should not replace normal workspace records. Use the correct area first:
  • Use Evidence for field submissions.
  • Use Reporting for indicators and reports.
  • Use Risks and blockers for operational risks.
  • Use Team for access changes.
Use managed services when support is needed beyond those standard actions.
