Escalate a tag to the next tier when it can't be fixed locally, and build a saved-view queue for your tier.

Escalate a tag to the next tier when it can't be fixed at the level where it was raised, and build a queue for your tier.

How tiers work

Tier escalation moves a tag up when it can't be solved at the current level. Different tag types or departments can use different tier setups.

Example: Tier 1 is the line team, Tier 2 is the department or maintenance, and Tier 3 is plant leadership.

Who can do this: Your admin sets up the tiers and who belongs to each.

Escalate a tag

  1. Open the tag.

  2. Click Escalate. You can add a comment explaining why.

The members of the next tier get an email.

Note: Tags can also be de-escalated back to a lower tier.

Build a queue for your tier

  1. On the F-Tag dashboard, filter by escalation status, for example Tier 2.

  2. Save the filter as a view and pin it.

  3. Share the view with the rest of your tier.

Tip: You can also show escalated tags on a Lean Studio tier board.
