How can I close the Smart Suggestions pane?

Why can't I see the Self Help Articles section in the Smart Suggestions pane?

You can see the Self Help Articles section in the Smart Suggestions pane only if your administrator has configured for it to be displayed.


Why can't I see Smart Suggestions when I type in the Category or the Service fields?

Is there a limit on characters that should be typed in the Description field to see Smart Suggestions?

For the English language, at least two characters should be typed in the Description field to view Smart Suggestions. For the Japanese language, the minimum number of characters is one.


If I close the Smart Suggestions pane, will it be shown the next time I submit a ticket?

Once you close the Smart Suggestions pane while submitting a ticket, it is shown again only when you submit a new ticket or open a ticket template from the Superbox search results.


What are the locations from where I can see Smart Suggestion?

The Smart Suggestions pane is shown when you open any incident template from the Superbox search results or you click the Submit a Ticket link on the Search page.


Why does the Service Request section show a zero count in Smart Suggestions when there are Service Request Definitions configured for a category?
