Change StatusChange StatusYou can change the status of a service request manually. In some situations, the system might apply status changes automatically. For example, when an owner is assigned to a record, the system changes its status to QUEUED. the system also updates globally-related records when you change the status of a global record.
You might need security authorization to change a status manually.
In the Service Requests (SP) application, display the record with the status you want to change.
From the Select
Action menu, select Change Status
.
In the New Status field, choose a status from the pull-down menu. You can enter a memo or descriptive text in the Memo field.
Click OK to change the status.
Note: If you change a record to a RESOLVED status, and you are the designated owner of that record, you might want to stop the timer or otherwise report time spent resolving the issue.
When a service request reaches a status of RESOLVED or CLOSED, related activities (which are work orders) are updated to reflect the RESOLVED or CLOSED status.
In some cases, a follow-up record might change the status of its originating service request. These options are configured by the service desk administrator. See the Related Records topic for more information.
The system might be configured to route a record automatically when its status is changed or to notify another party of a status change. See your service desk administrator for assistance.
