Default work note

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!

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.

Are you granting or denying access? This appears to be granting create access. I thought you wanted to prevent someone from doing this? If change your condition operator from "is" to "is not" and change all "or"s to "and".



Name | is not | value 1


AND


Name | is not | value 2


AND


Name | is not | value 3



That lets them write other user preferences, but NOT one of these 3.


I am attempting to deny writing preferences. Here is the entire ACL. The goal is to create a system preference (done) and deny the creation of any other user preferences for glide.ui.incident.stream_input, glide.ui.sc_task.stream_input, glide.ui.activity_stream.multiple_inputs. Sorry to be a noob here.

Two things to remember. You are not denying access, you are granting based on the fields being 'true'.



Second when using the role and conditions, both must be true. This user must be an admin, and the condition must be true for them to create.


Chuck,



I was able to prohibit the writing with a business rule. A WORLD of thanks for your time and help!


Thanks for sharing Mike. Happy to help.
