I've never done it myself, but I know that Outlook can be configured to provide voting buttons at the top of an email message..it sends a formatted reply email to the sender.I'm sure you could do a Google for outlook voting buttons and get directions on how to do it.

They do not want to open the form then click on the button. LJ - Can you elaborate on "email template that includes voting buttons"? Is that on Remedy side and works for most email clients?

If you want something more simple and at the cost of elegance, create a form with two buttons Yes and No that sets values under the scene and submits, and have the notification spawn out of this form, when an entry is created in this form.. So when the user clicks on the web url that can be embedded in the notification email, he can click the yes or no button and modify the entry, and thus submit his approval or disapproval.. The elegant way would be an email template as LJ described below which will take a little more work..

For the background on the requirements - We want to come up with some ways for approval to approve the tickets without opening each entry. They rather go through emails and with one-click on the "Approved" link which in turn creates some acknowledgement entries in Remedy, Then workflow in this form could do the works.

For some reason it looks like you are asking the obvious, can a web page opened in a submit mode do a submit operation - yes.. But obviously that is not what you mean to ask. I'm guessing what you are trying to ask is if you can perform a save operation directly without user interaction of pressing a submit button on the page after it is opened after querying for a particular entry or entries.. Is that it? If so yes, it should be possible too.. it would require creating a push field operation using an active link and an appropriate execution condition that would depend on what your business need is...

We want to send customers a URL (via email). One user click the link, it creates a new entry in Remedy. In the Mid-tier doc, it shows how to construct the URL to open the form in Search and Submit mode. E.g. http://<mid_tier_server/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=<formName>&server =<ar_server>&qual=%27Assigned+To%27%3D%22ME%22&mode=Submit Is it possible?
