Notifying the problem coordinator
When you finish the root cause analysis and have recommended a structural solution (and perhaps implemented the structural solution) use the Problem Investigation form to notify the problem coordinator that the problem has been solved.
To notify the problem coordinator
- Open the relevant problem investigation as described in Viewing problem investigations.
- Set the Assignee field to the name of the problem coordinator:
- (Best Practice view) Ensure that the Assignee field is set to the name of the problem coordinator.
- (Classic view) On the Assignment tab, ensure that the Problem Coordinator Assignment- Assignee field is set to the name of the problem coordinator.
- From the Status field menu, select Assigned.

I have one question here. On the Best Practice View, do we set the Assignee field to the name of problem coordinator, or we set the Problem Coordinator field to this value? Either choice will send the email to problem coordinator, but I think setting the value of Assignee to problem coordinator is NOT how the system is designed.
Another comment here - in the use cases for Problem Management, it says that we set the Problem Coordinator field, not the Assignee field. For example:
https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/servicedesk81/Problem+investigation+resolution+without+a+change+request
"The specialist confirms that the problem coordinator is set as the assigned problem coordinator. Then the specialist changes the status of the problem investigation to Assigned."
Thank you for your feedback. I will investigate and make an update.
Thanks. Could you please reply to me when you make the change, so that I know the answer?
