We had discussions, then still told them no. There are some other things that are locked down that we did customize to allow them to do, such as creating relationships to other records, but things like Tasks, Summary, Notes, etc. should not be changed when it's already on the implementation

Doug, While much of what you say makes sense, I have to ask what the logic is in preventing people from being on a Change Request and relating other requests to it. It works the other way around, but for example if your Change Request is part of a larger effort (not necessarily a release

Actually, invalidated basically means that it's invalid, not that it hasn't been validated (after which it would either become valid or invalid), so a better word may be unverified in this case. Thanks, Shawn Pierson Remedy Developer | Energy Transfer From: Action Request System discussion

I think we need an OOtB status of “Aluminium” so we can call BMC and ask how to see it via SQL on the Status History table. You know, the “haich” table, as some people in the U.K. would pronounce it. Thanks, Shawn Pierson Remedy Developer | Energy Transfer From: Action Request System

Good afternoon, We're testing ITSM 8.1.2 and found something curious. It was easy enough to fix so I'm not opening a ticket with BMC right now (although if someone from BMC is curious, they already have a ticket on a different issue and can read our logs from that one.) Basically, we have an

It’s funny, because I’ve had contractors disable it because they didn’t like it and such. It works ok for version control but it is a bit cumbersome (version control is in general.) It is fairly effective though once you learn how to use the back end Remedy forms that do things like who has

My understanding is that the goal is to eventually use that platform as a the primary interface for Remedy, so it is not an extra product. Currently, the scope of Smart IT is limited to Incidents and Work Orders though. By the way, I downloaded it last week when it was available on EPD, but I

It looks like we found a defect in the combination of ARS and Mid-Tier 8.1.2. It is happening with both IE9 and IE11. What happened is that after upgrading the mid-tier, we started seeing this warning at the top of the screen: IE is running in Compatibility View. Please remove Mid-tier URL
