Employee Center Form for Creation from Incident and Request

Justin Wenner
Tera Expert

Hello,

I would like to create a Form in our employee center with a field 'request' or 'incident' and of the basis of this, it should be create a incident or request. The process are should be handled by a flow.

 

I try this with a normal maintain item, but the problem is, it is creating per default a request.

 

How i can realize my introdusion?

 

Best regards

Justin

Hi @Justin Wenner 

 

Practically, this is not a valid use case. The reason is that if you make these two options a dropdown and select "Request," which catalog item would you display? Also, it’s not recommended. It's better to educate the users on what should be classified as an incident and what should be classified as a request.

There are already OOTB record producers and catalog items in place. Adding this new one could create configuration issues and impact the OOTB functionality. It’s better to avoid this.

Hi @Justin Wenner 

To create an incident, you can simply use the record producer [ NO FLOW NEEDED , it is OOTB]. If you need more information, you can ask the user for details through the variables. Then, you can concatenate all the information and use a script to add it to the description field.

Thank you very much for your answer. I know I don't need a flow, but I want it because I want to have actions executed automatically. This should be an attempt to solve the problem automatically.

Hi @Justin Wenner 

 

Once an incident is created, you can use a flow to execute actions, such as outage creation or other tasks. However, out of the box (OOTB), no flow is required to create an incident.

I understand. Is the desired Way to create a flow with a trigger on the incident table?

Hi @Justin Wenner 

 

I would say yes, on the RP (Record Producer) we don't use the flow, but once an incident is created, if needed, we can create a flow on the incident table.
