Hi, under 'My Requests' > 'Activity' tab the 'additional comments' displays for an RITM.  Does anyone know where this is configured and if it is possible to display the 'additional comments' displayed on a SCTASK.

 

Many thanks

Hi @CCZMAX1,


this is configured in Standard Ticket Configuration for the "sc_req_item" table.

It's generally possible for every type of record, but I strongly recommend you not to involve users in  catalog tasks (as far as I remember task doesn't belong to the user, hence to see it the itil license will be required => expensive), just pull Additional Comments from the RITM on the task form and leave comments there directly in RITM.

Hi @Ivan Betev , can you please explain how this can be configured in the Standard Ticket Configuration? We added Change Requests to "My request" and created a Standard Ticket Configuration for table change_request. The tab configurations for activity and attachments have been created by default. But within the activity tab, there is no field for the user to add comments (as there is for Incidents or Requested Items). We would like to enable the user to comment his change requests. I don't see any configuration possibility to do so...

 

Many thanks,

Niklas

Hello @niklastast ,

 

I'm not often here this days due to the high load, so thanks for your patience.

 

First of all do you have available Journal (journal input) field available for the user to leave a comment (by default it's there, but sometimes people switch to HTML or other customizations). Next thing is to check ACLs, if user can actually comment, by default I think normal users are not allowed to comment changes.

@Ivan Betev thanks for your reply and no worries.

"First of all do you have available Journal (journal input) field available for the user to leave a comment (by default it's there, but sometimes people switch to HTML or other customizations). " -> that's the point: where can I check this? In the employee center, I cannot see the field.
We have addeed an ACL granting users access to change_request.* for change request they have created. So, this should not be an issue.

 

Thanks,

Niklas

Hey @niklastast ,

 

While on the platform open any active change record and check if these fields are present:

If yes, that means that journal fields are in use. Check the same record in employee center using normal user account and admin? Admin can see the comment field in Employee Center? The issue is ACL. Use Access Analyzer (install from the Store if not available in the system) to troubleshoot.
