What events should be recorded as 'recordable' in inquiries?

• A. Policy changes, escalations, SLA breaches, or any actions affecting the inquiry's lifecycle.
• B. Minor typos in responses.
• C. Personal opinions of staff.
• D. Routine daily tasks not affecting inquiries.

Answer: (A)

Events that reflect changes in how an inquiry is processed or tracked should be recorded. These recordable events create a clear trail of what happened to the inquiry, who handled it, and how expectations were managed. Examples include policy changes that alter processing rules, escalations to higher support levels, and breaches of agreed response times, as well as any actions that change the inquiry’s lifecycle—such as status updates, reassignments, or deadline extensions. Recording these events supports accountability, auditability, and accurate service-level reporting.

Minor typos in responses don’t alter how the inquiry is handled, personal opinions of staff don’t impact the process, and routine daily tasks that don’t affect the inquiry’s state don’t need to be logged as recordable events.
