Configuring Auto Create Problem Records PM

What are Auto-Created Problem Records?

You can configure the conditions based on which Problem Records (PRs) can be created automatically by the application. For example, you can configure values for the number of Incidents, Category, Classification, Source, and so on to set up a condition that will automatically trigger the application to create PRs.

To configure auto-creation of PRs:

  1. Click Problem > Configuration > Auto Creation Settings.
  2. On the AUTO CREATION SETTINGS page, click ADD NEW on the ACTIONS panel.
  3. Select the Tenant and enter the required details. For information about the fields on the AUTO CREATION SETTINGS page, see Field Description.
  4. Click SUBMIT. The auto-create configuration is configured for the selected Tenant.
