Service Desk Checklists and handbooks
A useful addition to your support toolkit is the  'User Handbook'. This should contain:
  • useful hints and tips for solving incidents on commonly used applications and equipment
  • any preliminary checks or  information that may be required before calling the desk (for example, noting service name, screen numbers,  error codes)
  • importantly, it should tell the user what to expect when they call and what  will happen
  • the provision of a quality service is only achievable when users and service desk staff  work together.
