Request Task Management allows users agents to divide service requests into request tasks.
Dividing requests into tasks opens up benefits, such as assigning different request tasks to different employees and getting tasks done either simultaneously, or one after another. Service requests and request tasks are in the parent/-child relationships.
To create a request task, follow the steps below:
- Open a service request you want to create a request task for.
- In the Related Lists area click on the Request Task tab and then click New.Navigate to the {your_instance_url}/record/itsm_request_taskmenu;
- Fill in the form fields ;
- Click Save.
- and then click Save or Save and Exit to apply the changes.
