The Curious Use Case of the "Dramatic" Printer

So how does accessing asset management from Mobile for Jira work in a real-life scenario? Well, let's see it in action with Sarah and her IT team!

Problem

Sarah, the company's IT admin, was having her morning coffee when her phone chirped. A notification for a new Jira ticket had appeared on her Mobile for Jira app: "Printer X-9000: Toner Levels Critical!" She knew that printer well—it was located in the Marketing department and tended to be a bit... dramatic.

Actions

The first thing she did was tap on the notification and check the printer's details. Sure enough, the toner was down to 1%. With Mobile for Jira, this was easy to handle. She quickly updated the printer's status to "Toner Needed" and added a playful note for the Marketing team: "X-9000 is getting a little anxious again. I'll be there soon!"

Before heading over, she checked if her app had the "Order New Toner" option. That would save her a trip back to her desk. Unfortunately, it looked like she'd still need to make a supply request later.

Entering the Marketing zone, Sarah located X-9000 printer, surrounded by a slightly panicked group. Sarah assured the team she'd already updated the ticket status, and a fresh cartridge was on its way.

Resolution

Soon enough someone from her team had gone to the supply closet and brought up the exact toner to tame Printer X-9000. Once the toner was in place and the printer was back in working order, the tension in the room eased. 

Sarah loved how Mobile for Jira made these quick fixes so easy, that she quickly resolved the ticket and headed back to her desk.
