Answer

Changing the Form/Service (Reclassifying) of a TDX Ticket

Occasionally, a ticket may be linked to the wrong Form/Service. Previously, this was referred to as reclassifying a ticket. In TDX, this involves updating the form associated with the ticket. While most ticket attributes will be set to their appropriate defaults during this process, the Responsible field will not automatically update. If the Responsible field was previously assigned, you must identify the correct default group for the Responsible field and update it manually. It is important to follow the outlined steps when modifying (reclassifying) a ticket's form/service.

  • Use TDNext to open the ticket that you would like to change the form/service (reclassify).
  • From the General tab select the Edit button.

  • Identify the nature of the issue or request, proceed to select a corresponding form. Each service listed in the Service Catalog is linked to a specific form. The name of the form is derived from the service as it is displayed in the Customer Portal, with “- Form” added at the end. You may search using any part of the form name, and the results will be categorized into Incident and Service Request ticket types.

  • The title will maintain its value from the previous form/service. If it no longer aligns with the requested ticket, change it to a more fitting option.
  • The Title will have retained its value from the previous form. Change the title to something more appropriate if it is no longer suitable to the ticket being requested.
  • Review the status and confirm it is set to the appropriate value.
  • Leave the Source field as it was originally set.
  • Leave the Requestor field  as it was originally set.
  • Modifying the form may have added new attributes that need to be filled out. Please review and assign values to any required additional attributes in the new form.
  • The Description field will maintain any originally entered values. You may choose to keep it as is or include further details in this field.
  • The remaining fields, with the exception of the Responsible field (refer to the next bullet), will retain the values set in the previous form. Please do not modify these attributes.
  • The Responsible field will have retained its value from the previous form/service. Most of the time this will be incorrect. You will need to identify the default group associated with the reclassified form/service. Follow these steps to set the appropriate default group and save your ticket.
    • Select the green “Save” button at the top of the Edit screen to save the ticket. A “Changes saved” header text will appear once you have saved successfully.
      • You will be prompted to fill in any required fields if you have overlooked them.
    • Select the red “To Detail” button to return to the General tab of the ticket. Review the General tab and look for the Service Offering or Service links.
    • If a Service Offering is listed on the General tab, select the Service Offering link to open the Service Offering details page.
