In a help desk ticket process, what indicates that the ticket process is pending verification?

The status of a help desk ticket being pending verification is directly related to the workflow steps in the ticketing process. When the Process ticket step is initiated, it suggests that the ticket is in a state where it has gone through the necessary assessments and is awaiting further validation or confirmation on the information or resolution proposed. This step is crucial as it often transitions the ticket from being actively worked on to a stage where it requires verification before moving forward.

In this context, the other options do not appropriately represent a state of pending verification. Finishing a task by the assignee may indicate task completion but does not specifically mean that verification is pending. Manual changes to the status do not reflect the systematic workflow necessary for verification either, as they may not follow the structured process established for ticket resolution. Lastly, marking a ticket as resolved indicates that the resolution has been achieved, which is the opposite of being pending verification. Therefore, the initiation of the Process ticket step is the defining action that signifies the ticket is waiting for verification before concluding the process.
