Adding placeholder views for bulk updates and in-row actions for Shared Ticket Console and Asset Console


If you have created customized views for BMC Helix Innovation Studio based Shared Ticket Console or Asset Console, and you upgrade from BMC Helix ITSM version 23.3.02 or earlier, you must perform the steps described in this topic to be able to customize the bulk update views or the in-row action views from the Manage Views section under Screen Configuration in Innovation Studio Configuration in BMC Helix ITSM. For more information about the views available for customization, see Customizing Shared Ticket Console

In Shared Ticket Console, you can update the status of tickets in bulk by clicking Update status. The Update status window opens, and you can select the status to which you want to move the tickets. The Update status views define the interface of this Update status window. Each ticket type has its view defined. You can customize these views from the placeholder views in the Manage Views section.
