In ITSM 7 there is a new Vendor form that seaches across Incident, Problem, 
Task and Change. The SHR:ConsolidatedList form was the previous way to do this 
however you would have a very large file since all entries will be listed. 
Maybe 2 view forms one for each table and then a join.

Subject: Searching multiple forms


** 
Running ARS 5.1.2
 
The incident table in our application was becoming a bit cumbersome, so we 
created a stored procedure to archive records that have been closed with a last 
modified date greater than 180 days old.  In extreme cases, our analysts 
sometimes reopen old tickets for various reasons.  Currently, our advice to 
them is to search the incident form, and if the ticket isn’t found there, to 
open our archive_incident form and search there.
 
My functional would like me to create workflow that will allow our analysts to 
search both forms simultaneously.  I know of one way to do this, but I’m 
curious if any of you know of a better, or different way.  My suggestion was to 
create 2 table fields, one that populates from the incident form, and one that 
populates from the archive_incident form and refresh them based on analyst 
input (namely, an incident number).  This works, but I’m up against a space 
constraint on the form in question, as well as a general resistance to change 
of any kind.
 
I don’t know of any other way to search two forms at the same time, but I 
figured if there was another way, this community would know about it.
 
Thanks,
