That's unfortunate Nils. Most of the changes in our relatively small shop do not require workorders; just adds a layer of complexity that we don't need. It would be nice to have ITSM's full capability at the Change record level for those shops that don't need a complex management system, as well as at the workorder level for those sophisticated organizations. Thanks for your response in any event.

Hello all.  I am testing the ITSM Change Management module.  In the default 
settings for AgentITSMChangeSearch::ShowColumns the attribute Services is 
listed and enabled.  However, other than the linking mechanism, I cannot find 
how to attach a Service to the Change.  And even when I link a Service to a 
Change, the Service does not show up in the search results.  Any help on this?


Best regards,

by default, a Change cannot be linked to a Service in OTRS. The idea is that Changes 
are not linked directly, but indirectly by having a Service<->  Workorder link. 
So if you enable the Service column in the SysConfig and link a Service to a 
Workorder, you will see the affected/required Service(s) in the Change Overview or 
wherever you enable the column.

Btw. In the Change Zoom, ALL Services to ALL included WorkOrders are displayed, 
while the WorkOrder Zoom only displays the WorkOrder relevant Services.

This actually has the same effect for the Customer Portal. Customers as we see 
them, need to know which of their Services is affected/required by any planned 
Change, regardless which step (WorkOrder) of the Change does this.

Cheers, Nils
