Introduction

First Time Fix refers to the outcome of an incident where a fix or resolution is provided to a customer, usually during that first contact with the customer. There are varying definitions to what a first time fix means or what criteria it falls under. In Service Manager we provide workflow automation that lets you define what your requirements are in order to achieve a first time fix.
