Well, it's really about to what level companies are willing to buy into ITIL. If they want full ITIL, customization of ITSM will reflect that by being minimal. If they want some hybrid of the old and the new, customizations can be extensive, and therefore practically non-upgradeable. Not saying

The record delete must be a v7 change (Import v6 help does not mention it). I might have expected ARS to delete the record when choosing Replace in the Preferences, but I would not have expected the system to do a delete on Update (since on Update only the fields being imported are replaced).

A delete of a site record causes a delete of the related site alias records - check the filters! An Update is an Update with no delete. Don't use the replace option myself but that may cause a delete. Then again, I very rarely use the import tool. One thing I do use is logging... (eh Misi?)

I used a custom numbering of 2, 4, 6 and 8. I did this so that I would be able to go back and add other option in between. I believe at this point I am just going to convert to a search menu setup and be done with it. That's probably the quickest and easiest way to get through it at this point.

Or simply add dummy values (and a filter to dissuade users from selecting them) and revert to the old style numbering. The search menu in a different field can be used in a filter to convert to the selection value as well. Cheers Ben -Original Message- From: Action Request System
