Configuring ticket settings

Configuring ticket settings

Customize the Ticket Detail page

Each Service Desk ticket queue has default settings for new tickets, and you can configure those settings and add custom fields as needed.

Typical custom fields include:

•
Problem-related information: Symptoms, how long the problem has been occurring, or other components that might contribute to the problem.
•
Software-related information: Manufacturer, version, purpose, and installation date of the software.
•
Service Desk staff-only information: Information that can be used for diagnosing, reporting, or planning purposes, such as “vendor contact for escalation,” “root cause,” or “previously fixed.”
•
Custom ticket characteristics: Categories, Statuses, Priorities, and Impacts.

You can add or change these fields at any time, and the number of fields is restricted only by the number of columns that you can have in a database table. However, you cannot remove fields if they are used by tickets. To remove a field that is in use, change the tickets to use a different field, then remove the field.
