Use a parent ticket as a to-do list

Use a parent ticket as a to-do list

The Service Desk parent-child relationship can be used to group tasks that need to be performed by different users, such as tasks that need to be completed when you hire a new employee. This enables you to track the tickets as a group.

•
Enable parent-child relationships. See Enable parent-child ticket relationships for a queue.
•
Verify that the ticket queue allows parents to close child tickets. See Enable parent tickets to close child tickets.
Tip:
 
TIP: If you expect a multi-phase task to be repeated regularly, consider making it a process ticket. See Using Service Desk processes.
1.
Create a ticket to serve as a parent. See Designate tickets as parents and add existing tickets as their children.
2.
From the parent ticket, add child tickets for each required task on the to-do list.
3.
Close each child ticket as tasks are completed.
4.
When prompted, close the parent ticket. This prompt appears when the last child task is closed.
* 
NOTE: If the resolution for the parent ticket is empty, the resolution from the child ticket will be added to the parent resolution.

Use parent tickets to organize duplicate tickets

Use parent tickets to organize duplicate tickets

When multiple tickets are filed for the same issue, you can use parent tickets to organize and manage the duplicate tickets as groups.

Enable parent-child relationships for queues, and enable parents to close child tickets. See:

•
Enable parent-child ticket relationships for a queue
•
Enable parent tickets to close child tickets
1.
Designate one of the duplicate tickets as the parent. See Designate tickets as parents and add existing tickets as their children.
2.
Change the remaining duplicate tickets to child tickets:
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.
Click Service Desk > Tickets to display the Tickets page.
c.
Select all of the tickets that you want to change to child tickets.
d.
In the Choose Action menu, select Add To Parent.
* 
NOTE: Add to Parent appears only if you are viewing tickets in a single queue, and that queue has parent-child ticket relationships enabled. It is not available if you are in the All Queues view. See Enable parent-child ticket relationships for a queue.
The selected tickets become child tickets of the parent.
3.
When the issue is resolved, close the parent ticket.
The child tickets are automatically closed.

Using ticket approvers

Using ticket approvers

Configure ticket approvers
Approving tickets by email

You can require that a particular user or group approve tickets before tickets are opened or closed. In addition, you can require that only users who are set up as approvers can close tickets. If you have multiple queues, you can configure approver settings for each queue separately.

Setting up ticket approvers involves the following workflow:

•
Create a label to specify approvers.
•
Add users (approvers) to the label. You choose approvers from the list of all users regardless of queue, so they are not limited to a single queue.
•
Configure the APPROVAL_INFO ticket field in the queue to require this feature.
* 
NOTE: Approvers only have access to the Approval and Approval Note fields on a ticket. The Approval field has the following options:
•
Approved
•
Rejected
•
More Information Needed
* 
NOTE: The Approval field must be set before the ticket can be opened or closed, depending on how the Required option is configured. The Approval Note field is optional. Approvers can see all of the tickets they need to approve by clicking Service Desk > Tickets, then clicking View By > My Approvals.
