That's why I brought up the car analogy with the user. Most people aren't car experts either.
I haven't found the perfect answer, other than refusing to work on the ticket until more detail is provided (of course, sending them a nice note asking them to explain more).
Maybe in the ticketing system you could have 2 explicit text fields, "What are you seeing?" and "When do you see it?". The what are you seeing could let them type or upload a screenshot, since people like sending screenshots.
- marcuscreo 13y agoI think FogCreek does a really good job of this. When entering a ticket, they asked three simple questions: 1. What did you do? 2. What did you expect? 3. What happened instead? Just these three questions really help focus the task of entering a problem ticket.
