Yes, add the fields and document for future patches and upgrades.

Subject: Create new or modify existing - which is better?



Env: UNIX  Solaris / Oracle / ARS 7.01 / ITSM 7.03

Hello,

I received a request from our reporting person to create a join form between 
the 
main HPD Help Desk table and the Help Desk Assignment Log table for reporting 
purposes.  I discovered that a join between those tables already exists 
(HPD:HelpDeskAssignmentLogJoin) but our reporting person needs a couple of 
fields added to meet her reporting requirement.

So my question is:  Should I create a whole new join - especially considering 
future upgrades of ITSM - OR should I just add a couple of new fields to the 
existing join and document my changes???

Also - If this was a filter I would just disable the existing filter - perform 
a 
"Save as" and create a new filter with a new name - but this is a join form and 
I thought perhaps it would not be as "cut-and-dry" as that.

Please let me know what you think - your input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert Dalton
