Child ticket best practices

Hi,

We have a custom application which consists of a single table for one of our business units to log and track their own tickets. This was created as a simple ticket tracking app, but now their requirements have grown and they would like to start utilising a scaled back version of the ITSM request management. As this solution contains highly confidential data, we are still required to keep it on seperate, custom tables, but I was wondering what the communities thoughts are on the best way to incorporate a 'child ticket/task' option, much like the way RITM's and SCTASK's work.

Would we be better off keeping child tickets on the same table, providing a link in each record, much like the incident table works, or would we be better off creating a new table and spawning the child/task tickets on there and linking to the 'parent' on the parent table (more like RITM/SCTASK)?

The main priorities for this would be ease of use for customers and well as best option for reporting purposes.

Cheers,

Brad

Hey Brad

Would it be possible for you to migrate this to a scoped app for request management? This way you can take advantage of the out-of-the-box relationships and save time in the long run configuring this from scratch as the application scales.

Hi Scott,

This is already a scoped app, but how would I make it a scoped app for request management? I didn't realise that it was possible to make a scoped app that used OOB tables and relationships etc.

Cheers,
