FAQ
-
- Can we customize Add Request form and configure templates for Requests?
- It is not possible at the moment. We gather feedback related to this missing capability. As a partial solution you can configure Custom Fields on Add Request form.
- How can I have different custom fields for Ideas, Questions and Issues in Service Desk?
- It is possible using quite tricky multi-step workaround. The reason is that Custom Fields in Targetprocess are configured per Process and not per Request Type. It means you can start gathering feedback from your users within 3 different processes and split projects: for issues, ideas and questions separately.
- Create 3 processes in your Targetprocess system settings: 'Ideas', 'Questions', 'Issues'
- Customize custom fields in each process
- Create one project with corresponding name per each process
- In Request Types settings remove all types of requests and keep just one default type with common name (for example 'Service Desk Ticket')
- Customize public and privately used Custom Fields in Service Desk settings
- Make the 3 projects public for Service Desk
