enhancement Priorities per Service

[Dan Munns]

Hi,

Could we have the option to add priorities per service as well as the global ones? 

I am in the process of adding a new team to our instance and they require approx 8/9 new priorities added but I dont want them added to the ones already in use as it will cause confusion. 

Thanks

This sound similar to our requirement below. The work around I am using is custom form in the Progressive Capture to only display the appropriate priorities for the service and then using the answer to set the actual priority at the beginning of the BPM.

Hi @Martyn Houghton the issue I have is that these requests will only ever be logged by the end users (via the portal) and the priority is set depending on the options they select.

Could I use the PC to add a hidden field to the PC answers to be used in the request? I.e. User selects options 2,3 & 4, PC adds a read only field (hidden) with the correct priority, BPM takes the answer and uses it to set the service level? 

How have you set the service level using the PC answer? 

Thanks

@Dan Munns

Most of our requests are logged by the portal. We use a generic progressive capture so we branch in our case based on the organisation (but if you are using a service specific progressive capture you would not need to do this) and present them with the priority options, which we label 'Requested Priority'. We branch on organisations as different organisations have purchased different SLA's.

Then at the beginning of the BPM we extract the Question response.

Then use a string of decision nodes to then set the correct priority value itself before calling the start timer nodes for the Service Level rules to be applied.

It looks a bit complex in our screenshots as we have a lot of combinations.

Indeed subscribing priorities and organisations to service levels and services would make it a lot simpler, but this works for us.

Cheers

@Martyn Houghton thanks for the explanation. I will have a look and see what I can do with our instance.

Hi @Dan Munns we do have a story for this and i have added you as interested in this which increases it's priority (if you'll excuse the pun).   As this progresses we'll post back here

@Steven Boardman can I be added to? Will that increase the priority further?
