Converting a potential ticket into a repair ticket

Lumen creates potential tickets when we detect a possible problem on your network. Potential tickets remain open for 72 hours. If you're having issues with your service, you can convert the potential ticket into a repair ticket. If you're not having an issue, Control Center automatically closes the potential ticket after 72 hours or you can dismiss it and Lumen closes the potential ticket.

To convert a potential ticket to a repair ticket:

  1. Click Support, then Ticketing.

    Control Center lists all tickets—repair, potential repair, activation, configuration, billable field tech, maintenance inquiry, portal support, and reason for outage (RFO)—including tickets Lumen created on your behalf. By default, Control Center shows tickets created in the past 90 days and tickets are organized by the date the ticket was created (starting with the newest). The Status column shows the status for each ticket: Active, Canceled, Closed, etc. Potential tickets are marked with a yellow flag     (    ). Tickets needing a reply from you are marked with a green flag ().
