Q: How does the 'Initial Solution Type' work when logging a call into versaSRS?

A: The Initial Solution type can only be set when:

i.) A call is logged manually (by an operator)
ii.) Can only be defined at the point of logging the call: once the call has been saved, it cannot be changed.

Note: All calls logged via email default to an Initial Solution type of Not Resolved.

The Initial Solution type can be set to:

- Not Resolved (default)
- Workaround
- Resolved

The status of the Initial Solution type can be used when reporting to determine how many calls (logged by an operator) were:

i.) Not resolved but a Workaround was provided;
ii.) Resolved at the time the call was logged.

Whilst you cannot change the Initial Solution type after the call has been logged, an operator can enter a Solution via the Call Details screen. This can be included in email correspondence via the  tag (for further information, see Correspondence Tags within the on-line help).
