samwoo Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Hello, A customer was able to raise a request via the Portal for a New Starter request to start on Monday 19th November, despite the Start Date field in the PCF using the Service Request Calendar and a minimum of 5 working days can be selected: About 5 of us in IT went into to check this New Starter Process since and we are unable to choose Monday at all... with the minimum date we can select being Wednesday 21st November. How has she been able to bypass this restriction? This is the exact same process she (and others) uses for other New Starter Requests. Is it possible there might have been something that went haywire briefly whilst she raised this request that allow her to select Monday? Do I need to raise this via the Support form? Thanks, Samuel
James Ainsworth Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Hi @samwoo I may find this hard to help in this scenario. It most likely needs a closer look from someone in support. Finding a way to replicate something like this is normally key to providing a solution. It may benefit having this raised via support. Regards, James
Victor Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 @samwoo can you PM me the PCF config file please?
Victor Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 @samwoo - I think I found what the issues is... from what I can see, the SLC is not taken into account when raising a request via customer portal... Shall I take it you and your colleagues tried this via live app? because it works there... ... So, this is how the customer managed to select a date that should have not been selectable... I'll ask dev team to look into this.
samwoo Posted November 15, 2018 Author Posted November 15, 2018 Hi @Victor, My colleagues and I tried it through Service Manager and through the Portal (not the new version) if that helps. I may be a little be narrow-minded here but what do you mean by SLC? Thanks for looking into this Ta, Samuel oooooh I get you now - SLC = Service Level Calendar.... yes was narrow-minded for a moment there. 1
Victor Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 @samwoo - I bet none of you tried in the context of a basic user, right? ... the person raising the request is a basic user (I'm betting real monies on this) and this is when it happens 14 minutes ago, samwoo said: what do you mean by SLC?

samwoo Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Hello, This issue has come back Someone raised a request via the Self Service Portal at 17:04 on Wednesday 2nd January and were able to select Monday 7th January as the Start Date date of the New Starter... they should have only been able to select from Wednesday 9th January. The New Starter request is still using the ServiceDeskCalendar (Monday to Fridays 8am to 5pm), with a minimum Date Range of 5. Please advise. Thanks, Samuel
