Request Task Management allows users to complete service requests systematically, as each request consists of one or more tasks.
Dividing requests into tasks opens up specific benefits, like assigning different tasks to different employees, and getting tasks done either simultaneously, or one after another.
To create a request task, follow the steps below:
Navigate to the {your_instance_url}/record/itsm_request_taskmenu.
Fill in the form fields.
Click Save.
