The change request process allows the caller to be informed about the work progress.

In SimpleOne, this process is implemented as Notifications sent by email. Notifications delivered "out-of-the-box" are described below:

Additional notification recipients

It is possible to send notifications about the change request to a custom list of recipients apart from those stated above. To do so, complete the following steps:

  1. Ensure there is a special group created, or create one. The members of this group will receive the notifications regarding the change request.
  2. Use the group ID as a value for the system property change_stakeholders.group.id.

Sending notifications to the stakeholders is impossible if, in the Change Authority field on the Change Request form, the Local Authorization option is selected.  


Also, two types of tickets are created for the change request in this case:
