I can't recall seeing any of my customers say that it was set up in a way that really matched how they currently use on-call. Some of the architecture and naming needs to be updated to fit how people do it now vs. 5 years ago, when it was probably quite adequate. So, props for having that

Re: External customers viewing tickets

Good idea, Dan. I think I would lock it down further by doing what ITSM does - show the user's tickets in a table field, and restrict (if you wish) their ability to open the individual items from that in a Dialog only. Give them columns that show the Status and other basic info, and maybe a

Nope - change fields only allow one field per action. However, you can have 25 actions on the same AL, so to the user, the difference is transparent. Doesn't matter where on the form the fields are. Rick _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mark, it would seem that if one can select multiple discrete rows, that must be an API or Run Process command to execute an action against all selected rows. Is the break in the process that of not being able to select multiple rows using workflow, or not being able to execute workflow against

Generically, you could have your Open Window Active Link set a value in a field, and have the changed value in that field trigger the Filter actions. That's about as close as you could come, though. Rick On 11/27/07, LJ LongWing (Head) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ** WellFilters can't open

Brian, CMDB will work with ITSM 6 - in fact, v1.x is installed with it. So some of the links to customer Assets that used to go directly to AST:Asset now hit the appropriate CMDB tables. You have the option to use CMDB 1.x, which works fine with ITSM 6, or upgrading to the 2.x version of CMDB,
