The Link Action within a request enables two main functions. Firstly, the searching for and linking of existing requests, and secondly the raising of new linked requests.
Linking requests
Use the search bar to find related requests and link them to the request.
- Filters
Use the supplied filters to narrow the returned results. Options include Status, Type, Customer, Owner, Service. - Link
From the Returned Results, use the Link button next to each request, to link it to the request.- Relationships
If Service Manager Relationship Links have been configured, choose from one of the available Link types, to create not only a link but a defined relationship between the requests. If Relationship Links have not been configured, no drop-down will appear, and requests will use the generic Link option.
- Relationships
Raising linked requests
As well as linking the request to other existing requests, you can use the Raise New Linked Request
option to create a new request, which will automatically be linked to the request.
- The request types available will depend on your rights to raise the different request types.
- Choosing the Request Type for the linked request will initiate the Intelligent Capture for that request type.
- The summary and description from the original request will be populated into the Request Details Intelligent Capture form fields if selected in the capture flow.
Linked requests
As soon as the request is either linked to other existing requests or a new request is created from the request, a new collapsable section will appear on the request view.
- All linked requests will be added to this section.
- Options to unlink or edit the relationship link (If Relationship Links have been configured and used) will be presented.
- The request that is linked will also have a request section created when a link to it is added.
Tip
After a linked request has been added, an addition option on the Update Action becomes available where you can provide an update to all the linked requests.
