Service Operations Workspace - How to Remove the "Cause" Section from the Incident Overview Tab

Daniel Arnold

I am trying to remove the Overview tab from the Service Operations Workspace Incident record view. I have tried deleting the "cause" section from the view. I also have tried duplicating the "Incident Overview SNC" variant, deleting the "cause" container, and setting this 1 as a lower order number than the original read only variant.

 

Nothing I've attempted has worked. Any suggestions???

Hi @Daniel Arnold 

Open any incident in native view, then change the view to SOW. Next, go to form design and delete the section.

Thanks for your reply. I tried this already. It removes the "cause" section from the Details tab; not the Overview tab.

Hi @Daniel Arnold 

 

In that case it is some where configured in UI builder only.
