Create process tickets to manage related tasks

Create process tickets to manage related tasks

If you have added and enabled process templates in a queue, you can create process tickets to manage sets of related tasks, such as the tasks required to set up systems for new employees, as a group.

You have added and enabled process templates. See Add, edit, and enable process templates.

1.
Go to the Service Desk New Ticket 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 Tickets.
c.
Select a queue from the queue selection drop-down, then Choose Action > New Ticket From Process > Process name.
The New Ticket page appears. The activities related to each stage of the process are listed in the Process Information section.

3.
Do one of the following:
◦
Click Save to save the ticket and return to the Ticket list.
◦

◦

If other users have modified the ticket concurrently, the Update Notification dialog appears, provided that the dialog is enabled for the queue and you are the ticket owner or an administrator. This dialog is displayed to administrators and ticket owners only. It is not displayed to other users. Administrators can enable or disable the conflict warning message for each queue separately. See Enable or disable the conflict warning.

See Create tickets from the Administrator Console Ticket page. The process ticket is created, and child tickets are created automatically for activities assigned to stage 1. Stage 2 child tickets are created when all stage 1 tickets are closed, and so on. If approvals are defined for the process, child tickets are created after the approvals are received for the process ticket.
