Create request tasks


If solving a service request requires the participation of different departments, an agent can create a request task for each of them. Dividing requests into tasks has several benefits, such as the ability to assign different request tasks to different employees and to get tasks done either simultaneously, or one after another. Service requests and request tasks are in the parent-child relationship.

To create a request task, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Service Request Management → All Service Requests.
  2. Open the service request you want to create a request task for.
  3. In the Related Lists area, select the Request Tasks tab and click New.
  4. Fill in the fields.
  5. Click click Save or Save and Exit to apply the changes.
