Preview ticket layout

Preview ticket layout

When you finish making changes to the way tickets are displayed on the New Ticket and Ticket Detail pages for a selected ticket template, you can preview the ticket page layout.

There are several preview options to choose from. The type of information on the ticket page depends on the permissions associated with the user accessing the page (User or Owner), and the action type (New Ticket or Ticket Detail). For example, a Ticket Owner typically has access to more information than a user associated with the ticket. Also, the New Ticket page can have some additional controls for providing comments or linking attachments, unlike the Ticket Detail page.

* 
NOTE: Previewing a ticket template causes it to create and save a ticket. Any values that you make while previewing a ticket are saved by default.

Using parent-child ticket relationships

Using parent-child ticket relationships

Enable parent-child ticket relationships for a queue
Enable parent tickets to close child tickets
Create child tickets for any ticket
Designate tickets as parents and add existing tickets as their children
Use a parent ticket as a to-do list
Use parent tickets to organize duplicate tickets

You can set up any Service Desk ticket as a parent ticket and assign child tickets to it.

There are two ways to use the parent-child relationship:

•
Prevent the parent from being closed unless all its child tickets are closed. This strategy uses the parent ticket as a global to-do list and each child ticket as a separate task on the list. After all the tasks are completed and the child tickets are closed, the parent can be closed.
•
Close all child tickets when you close the parent ticket. This strategy is useful for tickets that are duplicates of the same problem. For example, if a server crashes and users file duplicate tickets about the issue. When the server is restored, the ticket owner can close the parent and close all of the child tickets at the same time.

Regardless of the strategy you choose, child tickets cannot be orphaned. That is, you cannot close the parent ticket before closing the child tickets.

* 
NOTE: You can create many levels of parent-child ticket relationships, but closing child tickets by closing their parent ticket works for only one parent-child level.

Enable parent-child ticket relationships for a queue
