Adding Note
You can use notes to update additional information to requests either for reference or for communication with requesters and technicians.
To add a note,
-
Go to the Requests tab and then click the subject line of the desired request.
-
Click Actions > Add Notes. Alternatively, you can click Add Notes in the Conversations box.
-
In the editor that appears, enter the required information and then click Add Note.
You can tag technicians by typing @ followed by the technician's name. You can also tag the specific users using the placeholders followed by the @ symbol. The available placeholders are as follows.
Placeholder |
Description |
$TicketOwner |
This is replaced with the name of the technician to whom the request was assigned. |
$Requester |
This is replaced with the name of the requester. |
$On_Behalf_of_User |
This is replaced with the technician on whose behalf the request was created. |

You can also add a note from the request list view by invoking the note icon beside the corresponding request.
