Adding related items to an incident request

From the Related items tab, you can relate an existing incident to the current incident, or create a new incident and relate it to the current incident. For example, you can create an incident from within the context of an incident, and important metadata (such as customer information) from the incident copied to the new incident. In addition, Created and Created by relationships are automatically established between the two incidents.

For more information about relating items to an incident, see Relating items to incident requests in the BMC Helix ITSM: Service Desk online documentation portal.
