Common Mistakes

Closing without notes: Always add notes explaining the resolution before closing feedback.

Vague resolution notes: Be specific about actions taken, not just "Resolved" or "Fixed".

Not updating resolved by: Record who handled the issue for accountability.

Closing prematurely: Only close feedback after the issue is fully resolved and customer is satisfied.

Not saving changes: Always click "Save Changes" or your updates will be lost.

Troubleshooting

Changes not saving: Ensure all fields are filled appropriately and try again.

Can't change status: Verify you have the necessary permissions to manage feedback.

Notes not appearing: Check that you clicked "Save Changes" and refresh the page.

Best Practices

Status Management

Keep open until resolved: Don't close feedback until you've taken action and verified the issue is resolved.

Regular reviews: Periodically review open feedback to ensure nothing is forgotten.

Clear criteria: Establish team guidelines for when feedback should be marked as closed.

Resolution Notes

Be detailed: Include specific actions taken, not just outcomes.

Include dates: Note when actions were taken, especially for multi-step resolutions.

Record customer response: If you followed up with the customer, note their response.

Document learnings: Include any insights that could help prevent similar issues.

Example Resolution Notes

  • "Called customer on 2/17/26 at 2pm. Apologized for wait time. Offered 20% discount on next visit. Customer satisfied. Updated staff training on peak hour procedures."

  • "Room 305 - Replaced faulty AC unit on 2/17/26. Moved guest to room 402 temporarily. Followed up at 6pm, guest confirmed issue resolved. Waived room service charge."

  • "Order #12345 - Refunded $25 for incorrect item. Sent replacement via express shipping. Customer received on 2/18/26 and confirmed satisfaction."

  • "Fixed"

  • "Resolved"

  • "Talked to customer"

Team Coordination

Assign ownership: Use the "Resolved By" field to track who's handling each issue.

Share insights: Discuss closed feedback in team meetings to identify patterns.

Follow up: For serious issues, consider following up with customers after marking as closed.

Track metrics: NEEDS CONFIRMATION: Whether there are analytics on resolution times and feedback trends.
