The Analysts need to specify a Pending Reason when they change the status of a Service Request (SR) to Pending. You can define the Pending Reasons for SRs under a Tenant based on the organization’s requirements.
To configure Pending Reasons:
- Select Request > Configuration > Service Request Masters > Pending Reason.
- On the PENDING REASON page, click ADD NEW on the ACTIONS panel.
- Select the Tenant and type in the Pending Reason in the Pending Reason Name text box. If you select the Active check box, the Pending Reason becomes an available option in the Pending Reason list on the other pages of the application. If you are configuring Pending Reasons for a Tenant for the first time, COPY RECORDS FROM INCIDENT MANAGEMENT icon is present on the ACTIONS panel to copy the records from Incident Management module (see: Copying Data from Incident Management 1).
- Click SUBMIT. A new Pending Reason is configured.
