Creating and managing locations
Track-It! allows you to maintain the location and address details of requestors and departments. You can also add contact information for a location and assign a priority to it. You can configure multiple locations based on the database of requestors and departments. You must have system administrator permissions to manage locations.
The following topics are provided:
Key considerations
- While creating a ticket, if the Location field is enabled and a requestor selects a location, the Contact Information and Address Information fields are automatically populated on the Ticket form in Self Service.
- The data in the Location field of a ticket shows the location of the department and not of the requester. Although requestors can view the department and location information in Self Service, they cannot update it.
- You can configure SLAs and Business Rules that are specific to locations.
- On the Locations page, you can sort the list of locations by Location Name, Priority, Contact Person, and Location Phone columns.
- Using Priority hierarchy, you can set an order of precedence for the Category, Requestor, Location, and Department modules. Based on the priority hierarchy that is configured for a group, a record is assigned a priority. For more information, see Defining-priority-hierarchy.
