Hi,
I want the "work notes" - field to be the default view when viewing a ticket (instead of the "Additional Comments"- field showing), so it will look like this:
I found a record in the dictionary called "Work notes" on the task table, and tried setting this to default value "true". Then I get the desired result when viewing a ticket, but not when creating a new one. It then shows both the "Additional Comments" and the "Work notes"-field, and it says "true" in the "Work Notes"-field. I belive the original behavior is both of the fields showing like this, but of course not showing the "true" statement in the "Work notes"-field.
Anyone got an idea as to how I can default show the "work notes" (work notes = ticked) instead of the additional comments? It would be OK for both fields showing on a new ticket as well, but I would not want to see "true" in the work notes - field.
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Ina,
Look what I found... Two user preferences that do what you want... you can make these a single field or expand them to show both. You can default to work notes too!
I just changed mine on incident and noted the changes in sys_user_preferences. If you want make those the default for people, just remove the user name and change the System field to true (checked) and insert&save the new record. It doesn't prevent people from changing it to the way they want (collapsed and comments first), but it gives you a default for noobs.
Let me know if you need more help or if that answers your question.

I do not want to remove the possibility to create "Additional Comments", but I do wish for the Work Notes to be the default kind of notes (so that technicians don't post customer visible notes by mistake)

I've dealt with issues like this in the past. This sounds like a training issue.
The yellow indicator is already there on the work notes field as a visual cue to let them know they are posting private vs. public notes.
You could try other things like putting the two fields on the form with work notes first, but nothing is ever going to guarantee the technician is using the proper field all the time.
