Creating an Incident template to deploy an operational rule

For commonly occurring incidents that require operational rule deployment to resolve the incident, you can create Incident templates and link the Task template that deploys the required operational rule. For example, the intranet stops working because IIS Admin Service needs to be restarted. You can create an Incident template in which you add or link the Task template that deploys the operational rule to restart the IIS Admin Service. You can also make the Incident template available to Self Service clients as top requests.
