Managing Request Sub-statuses
The Management of the Global Request Sub-statuses is done from within the Administration Portal
- Sub-status Name
- The Name of the sub-status is what will be displayed to an analyst from within a request
- Customer Label
- An alternative Label can be provided which will be visible to the customer from within the Customer or Service Portals. This is only applicable to request types that are accessible on the Portals.
- Request Type
- A sub-status can be made available to All requests types or you can select from one of the available request types on which this particular Sub-status will be available.
- Parent Status Active On-Hold
- The selection of a sub-status controls if the request is placed in either an Active or On-hold state when the sub-status is selected. A Sub-status that is set with a Parent Status of Active will either keep the request in an active state (New, Open, Resolved) or if the request is On-hold the state will change back to its Active state. A Sub-status that is set with a Parent Status of On-hold will either change the status of the the request to On-hold if it is currently in an active state (New, Open, Resolve) or it will maintain an On-hold state if it already on-hold.
- Pause Until Date / Time - If choosing the Parent Status of On-Hold, this option will allow you to determine if the analyst moving the request into a specific sub-status will be prompted to put it on-hold until a defined date and time, after which it will automatically come off-hold, or if you choose No the analyst will not be prompted to set an on-hold until date and time, and instead the request will remain on-hold until it is manually taken off-hold. If choosing this option the analyst will be presented with the option to set a reminder activity when placing the request into this on-hold status.
