| + | The form designer can then be accessed wherever the '''"Design"''' button is displayed. In Service Manager, it is possible to manage the request details forms for each request type per service and where requests are not linked to services. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * '''Where services are not linked to a request type (Inc, Problem etc)''' you can open the form designer on any such request and edit and make changes there. These changes will apply to any other requests of that type (Inc, Problem etc) where a service is not linked. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * However it is sometimes a requirement to have different custom fields on the Incident (or any other request type) form depending on the service against which the Incident or other request type has being raised (especially where multiple support teams are using the Incident forms but for their own services with different requirements). | ||
| + | :* In this case each service owner's or those with the '''form designer''' role can use the form designer from within the '''[[Services_Request_Configuration|Service > Request Configuration > Request Type]]''' view to manage the request details form for requests raised against that service. | ||
| + | :* Or they can open up any request logged against that service and make the changes from the form designer on the request. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Which ever route is taken these changes when made will apply to any requests of that type logged against that service. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This means that you can manage any request form per service, allowing you to control the default fields and add custom fields to the Incident, Problem, Change, Service Requests and Release for each service, then any tickets raised against that service will use the request details form as configured against the service for the request type. | ||
