Create custom Ticket Rules

Create custom Ticket Rules

You can create custom Ticket Rules for Service Desk tickets as needed.

1.
Go to the Service Desk Queue Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Service Desk, then click Configuration.
c.
On the Configuration panel, click Queues.
d.
Click the name of a queue.
2.
In the Ticket Rules section at the bottom of the page, click Customize to display the Ticket Rules page.
3.
Select Choose Action > New (Wizard) to display the Define Ticket Rule panel.
4.
Enter the criteria required to choose the tickets for the custom Ticket Rules. For example:
Priority | = | Medium
5.
Click Test to display tickets that match the criteria.
6.
Click Next.
7.
Select the values you want to change to. For example:
Priority | change value to | High
8.
Click Done to display the Ticket Rule Detail page.
9.
Provide the following information:
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not edit SQL queries without understanding the consequences. Incorrect SQL statements might reduce appliance performance.

Option

Description

Name

The name of the Ticket Rule.

Order

A number specifying the evaluation order level. The Ticket Rule runs according to the evaluation order specified. Lower numbers run before higher numbers.

Queue

(Read only) The name of the queue to which the ticket belongs.

Description

Any additional information you want to provide.

Enabled

The Ticket Rule is available. The Ticket Rule runs only if it is enabled.

Select SQL

Modify the SQL query as needed. The query is generated by the Ticket Rule wizard based on the criteria specified on the Ticket Rule page. The query returns a set of ticket IDs that the Update Query operates on.

The Select Query runs according to the specified frequency.

To view results of the query, click View Ticket Search Results.

* 
IMPORTANT: Do not edit SQL queries without understanding the consequences. Incorrect SQL statements might reduce appliance performance.

Email results

Send the results of the Select Query to the specified email addresses. All columns returned by the Select Query are included in the email.

Enter the email addresses in the Email field; use commas to separate addresses.

Append comment to ticket

Add a comment to each ticket returned by the Select Query. This action is useful in case the Update Query specified later updates a ticket without logging that information. For example, add a message such as Ticket Rule: Increase Priority to High triggered. Having this message gives you an indication of which tickets have changed.

Enter any comments in the Comment field.

Email each recipient in query results

Send text to the email addresses returned by the Select Query. An email is sent to each email address returned by the Select Query in the Email column.

Variables are evaluated in the subject line or body of the email. Strings such as $title and $due_date are replaced by the values in the TITLE and DUE_DATE columns respectively. Any column returned by the Select Query can be replaced in that way.

The SQL generated by the Ticket Rule wizard supplies OWNER_, SUBMITTER_, and CC_LIST as possible values.

Enter the subject in the Subject field.

Enter the email column name in the Email field, for example, OWNER_. Email is sent to each email address returned by the Select Query in this Email column.

Enter an email message in the Email Body field.

Run update query

Run a second database query using the results from Update Query field as input.

Use this field to run an additional SQL UPDATE statement using the comma-separated list of tickets returned by the Select Query as input. For example, “update HD_TICKET set TITLE = 'changed' where HD_TICKET.ID in (<TICKET_IDS>)” turns into “update HD_TICKET set TITLE = 'changed' where HD_TICKET.ID in (1,2,3)”

Modify the SQL query as needed. The query is generated by the Ticket Rule wizard based on the criteria specified on the Ticket Rule page. This query operates on the tickets selected by the Select Query.

The Update Query runs according to the specified frequency.

* 
IMPORTANT: Do not edit SQL queries without understanding the consequences. Incorrect SQL statements might reduce appliance performance.

Recalculate Due Dates

Select this option only if your update query involves updating the priority of existing tickets. Selecting this option recalculates the due dates based on the new priority being set by the ticket rule.

* 
NOTE: If any of the tickets contain a manually overridden due date, it will not be overridden by ticket rules.

Last Run Log

The last query results, including any failures or errors. These results are updated each time the Ticket Rule runs.

Frequency

The interval at which the Ticket Rule runs.

* 
NOTE: Ticket Rules that run on Ticket Save should be designed to operate on a single ticket and trigger a single event. Ticket Rules that run on a schedule can run against multiple tickets and trigger multiple events.

Next Run

The date and time the Ticket Rule is scheduled to run again.

10.
Click Run Now to immediately run the Ticket Rule.
11.
Click Save.

a.
