Make a service request only available to selected technicians
Hi, Would like to know whether a service request within the same site can be made available only to a few technicians to view.

[SDF-81675,SDF-81965] Execute Script from FAFR
There is a major limitation between Service Catalog and Custom Triggers. When building forms I want all Fields that relate to that form to fall under that forms Service Category only. From an Admin perspective it keeps things clean. But on most forms I need to include a Custom Trigger at some point. That Trigger will create an email and in that email will need to be information from a submitted request. The issue is that Additional Fields created under a Service Category can NOT be used for Custom
[SDF-23969] Automation from Incident Request to PO Creation
Hey All Has anyone scripted automation directly from an Incident request to a PO? We run a separate request and approval system in our environment. When a request is approved, an email gets sent to SDP to notify a technician for deployment. Now that we have the Purchase Module, my supervisor would like to convert these approved requests into a PO. Does anyone know if this is possible? I checked out the Business rules, but it looks like I can only convert to a Service request, and then associate that

[ForYourInformation -31] Ticket Notes.
Ticket Notes help the technicians get an overview of the happenings and highlights of the ticket. They play a significant role in delivering excellent customer service. The ticket Notes include key information like troubleshooting steps carried out, the user's convenient time, the next plan of action, etc. Ticket Notes are most needed at the time of ticket handoff to the next technician in the same or another department. The ticket Notes should have all the details needed for the next technician

[Blog] Keys for improving the End-Users' Self-Service Experience
When a user has a problem, he doesn't want to spend hours on the phone trying to fix it. I recently had to work from home and faced an issue with network connectivity that halted my project work. I wanted to fix the issue ASAP as I was running too close to the deadline to submit the project. I didn’t want to reach out to the service provider which would test my patience. Immediately, I checked the service provider's online articles that helped me fix the issue in no time and I felt it was more convenient.

API Notes Help
I have an app that injects tickets into our on-prem system, this works flawlessly. I tried doing the same with a ticket note, example appears solid, it works from the little tester on the webpage.

Am I missing something?

Hello, we are not using the user survey function yet but would like to initiate it. However I'd like to start slow by sending surveys in response to specific closed survey requests.

Purchase Approver View
We have several purchase approvers that are not members of our IT team that need to be able to view all POs where they are listed as an approver.

Our current options only include Cancelling a PO and Adding New Vendor Service.

Auto-close Incidents attached to a Problem and/or Change Request
When closing a Problem or completing a Change Request all Incidents attached should automatically close. There could be a large number of incidents that are attached to a Problem and it would be more efficient to close these along with the Problem rather than close them individually. This could be an option in the Change Closure Rules and Problem Closure Rules.
