Custom fields

Adding your own fields to cases, making them required and showing them to requesters.

For Admins · Updated

Custom fields (Settings › Case setup › Custom fields) record information your team needs that ServAIceDesk does not have built in, such as the site, the number of affected users or a vendor's ticket number.

Options for each field

  • Case types: show it only on incidents, requests, changes or problems.
  • Required: a case of those types cannot be resolved until it is filled in.
  • Visible to requester: shown on the requester's view of their case.
  • Active: switch a field off without losing the values already recorded.

Custom fields and canned responses offer Refresh when loading fails. Failed saves keep your draft; failed activation or deletion shows an error. Deleting a canned response asks for confirmation. Read-only workspaces cannot change these settings.
