Follow Up Notifications

Hello,

Is there any way to stop follow up notifications for posts or updates that I am doing to my own tickets? When I respond to someone's ticket, I get a notification containing my response. It's not needed.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

ITSM: Work Order note field [SOLVED]

Hello,

Is there somewhere in SysConfig where I can set the "note" field (text field) of Work Orders to NOT require text? I'm not seeing it anywhere I've looked in SysConfig and have searched the forums with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Rename Ticket Type

Hi Jojo, thanks for the reply. The reason why I want to rename the type from "default" to "HelpdeskTicket" is so that it's easier for "customers" to decide which type of ticket they should create. I am already using an ACL to limit the choices to two: "RFC" an...

Re: ITSM: Customer Portal / View Changes

To resolve this, I created a default service and attached it to each change template. That way, all changes can be viewed in the customer portal and if we don't want them to be viewed, we can remove the service.

I realized that the default group for customers is actually "users", so I gave read-only permissions to that group in Frontend::Customer::ModuleRegistration as well and the changes still aren't showing.
