We've learned recently that Resolved does not retrain the Technician name when a tech leaves. This is making it rather difficult to reference old notes. Is there a SQL script we can use that will update the status and closer code from "Resolved" to "Closed with Success" for any quest that has a status

Admin login for self service
Hi There, In self service I have removed the option to login to the admin login on the default page. Now occasionally when I go into the admin page it goes to the normal login instead.

Automatically Apply Template to new Requests?
Is there a way through Business Rules, etc, to apply a template to a new request if it meets certain criteria?
