Detailed Information

What are task templates

Task Templates are set of tasks that can be applied to a ticket. The set of tasks in a Task Template can be linear or accomplished in parallel.

What can task templates do

  • Provide a set of tasks that can be applied to a ticket and used to guide the fulfilment of that ticket.
  • Tasks can be presented as
    • a linear set of tasks (one after the other)
    • a set of parallel tasks (all can be worked on at anytime)
    • (or) a combination of both linear and parallel tasks

What can't task templates do

  • Task templates cannot make decisions  based on user input or contents of a ticket
  • Task templates cannot send notifications (other than assignment of the task)  to others

 

INFO: If you need to make decisions based on ticket contents or user input, or need to send notifications to others this can be accomplished with Workflows.
