Template Options
Each Template provides a number of options to define the default settings for the requests that are raised from an email routing rule.
- Name
- The Name is used for both providing a reference in the list of Routing Rule Templates and for selecting the routing rule template when defining a Email Routing Rule when the raiseNewRequest operation is used.
- Description
- An optional description of the Routing Rule Template can be provided to help others that have access to this list understand the purpose of the template.
- Request Type
- Available request types include Incident and Service Request. This is a mandatory option. The selected option will result in that type of request being raised.
- Service
- All the defined services that have a status of Catalog are available within this list. Despite this being an optional field, using Services is highly recommended.
- Catalog Item
- The Catalog Item option is only available if a service has been selected and that service has available Request Catalog Items
- Team
- Select a Team that this request will be assigned to. Keep in mind that a BPM Workflow can also be used for automating the Team assignments.
