Next, as shown in FIG. 7E, location 708 of the dialog region 702 includes a message 732 from the user to the agent indicating that the user has restarted the user's computer. In response to receiving message 732, the user assistance system updates the incident record yet again to reflect that the user restarted the user's computer. Further, the user assistance system is configured to include a time stamp for when the restart occurred, which the user assistance system determined the time stamp to be a time at which message 732 was received. Other example scenarios for updating the incident record are possible as well.
