Do you have a 1:1 relationship between your service requests and your work orders or does 1 service request generate 10 work order requests? If it is a 1:1 relationship between your SRD and the specific Work Order, then you would simply set the survey on the SRD and you would be done with it.

Are you talking about the OOB requester console that comes with Service Desk or the Service Request Management module? Either way, there is some functionality lost such as being able to see the Open tickets table. It all depends on what the requirement is. If all your users want to do is enter

Barbara, SRM is the front end for the end user and that end user can be someone IT or non-IT. For SRM requests that should spawn incidents, you can do so within SRM. You can do the same for Change. The Work Order module is for everything else. With SRM, BMC is trying to keep Incident management
