You can do it with a notification policy. I have that does it in 24 hours. You can't use an incident rule I think since that is only evaluated upon saving a ticket. The notification policy can monitor time as often as you set the schedule to run at.

Here is the query I use:
SELECT    
workitem_number AS 'Ticket_Number'   
FROM    
HD_workitem_current_view    
WHERE    
workitem_status_lookup_id = '400'    
AND    
DateDiff(hh,workitem_modified_on,GetDate()) > 24

I'm cool with this part, but to actually get the status automatically changed to closed, what type of automated action do I need to run.
Thanks

In the Automated Actions section of the NP, add an "Edit Incident Automated Action". Add a comment like "This resolved incident has not been modified for 'N' hours and has been closed by Altiris." and set the Status ddl to Closed.

Hope this helps.

I'm not seeing a status ddl. Should I be seeing it in the automated action window? Under Comment I've got External ID: and Source:
"Help", said the newbie.

Make sure you scroll down (bar on the right). I made that exact same mistake the first time :D

No scroll bar when the default window opens. Thanks for your help.

Hi, this part is actually really buggy... there is no scroll bar, but the fields ARE down there below. I was able to get to them by TABing down to them.

I'm sorry I forgot to answer your question completely in the first post. Here's what I do for the Edit Incident Automated Action.

Execute: Once per row
Incident: %DS:Ticket_Number%
Comment: Auto-close after 24-hours in Resolved status with no customer feedback.
Status: Closed

Instead of having the automated action close the ticket, can I get it to email the resolved ticket numbers to a member of staff instead?

Just use the automated email action instead of the incident automated action. In fact if you want, you can do both.

When i tried putting in that SQL code and clicking the "run" button i got this error message, "View or function 'HD-workitem_current_view' has more column names specified than columns defined'. Does anyone have any ideas??

So I added the 48 hour rule and it worked, but then when i added a lookup field it stopped working.
