(2022.1) Service Desk - Original Inquiry

Original Inquiry

Example of Original Inquiry Tab

The 'Original Inquiry' tab shows the contents of a Request in the form that it first hits the PCR-360 application. This can be useful for reviewing the Request at a later date. From here, the User can choose to either Block Email or Add to Existing Item.

The Block Email button allows a User to block an email from sending additional requests and can be used to prevent spam. Clicking 'Block Email' permanently blocks that email from initiating future Requests.

The Add to Existing Item button takes a Request and associates it with an Inquiry, Incident, Incident Request, Quick Tick, Service Order, or Service Request. Follow these steps to create this association.

  1. Click the 'Add to Existing Item' button.
  2. This opens the 'Convert to Thread' form.
  3. Click the Picker which opens the list of Inquiry's to select.
  4. Select the Inquiry desired and click the Ok button.
  5. Click the Convert button.
  6. This deletes the current Inquiry and create a new thread response in the Inquiry selected in step 4.

The association is created and accessible on the Grid.
