Configuring fields on the Close form

You can add or remove fields from the Close form for the following objects:

  • Incident
  • Task
  • Problem
  • Change Request
  • Release
  • Broadcast

If the fields that you want to add to the Close form do not exist for an object, add them to the object first. For more information, see https://help.salesforce.com/htviewhelpdoc?id=adding_fields.htm&siteLang=en_US. If you mark a custom field as required, an error message is shown to the user if no value is specified for the field.

The following table lists out-of-the-box fields that cannot be removed:

Note

BMC recommends that you do not remove the Follow Up and Follow Up Date fields from the Close form for incidents. If these fields are removed from the form and a follow-up is required for the value in the Category field, an error message will be displayed, and you will not be able to save the form. If you remove the Follow Up field but keep the Follow Up Date field on the form, users will be required to select a value in the Follow Up Date field for follow-up-enabled categories.
