Feature released in SummitAI Service Management (Denali SP3, Service Request Management)

What's New?

A new action item CONVERT TO INCIDENT is added on the ACTIONS panel of the Service Request. Now, the Analyst can convert a service request to an incident based on the description of the issue. This  functionality is helpful specifically in cases where the categorization of an issue and request is not correct.

Also, new configurations are added on the Tenant page. The Administrator should configure these section to enable the CONVERT TO INCIDENT icon on the SERVICE REQUEST DETAILS page. 

The conversion option is provided only in certain status so that the call to convert an SR to Incident is taken at the correct stage. The CONVERT TO INCIDENT icon is available only for the following Status of the Service Request:

  • New
  • In-Progress
  • Pending
  • Assigned

Note:

The CONVERT TO INCIDENT icon is not available when SR Status is Pending for Approval, Resolved, Cancelled, and Closed.

This functionality is applicable to workgroups within the same Tenant only.
