Just to echo what Shawn said, we're treating the "Contact" tab as an alternate contact only.
I used to always create an "Alternate Contact" tab for notifications to an Admin Assistant when the ticket was really for their boss. I also provided an option to contact either one or both when an alternate contact was included.

It's more of an optional thing for the situations where people are unable to be reached for their own tickets. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doornbos, Mark Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:09 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Customer versus Contact ** Hi List, Within Service Desk 7, do you guys have any guidelines or recommendations for filling out the Customer and Contact sections (tabs) in the Incident? Since both Customer and Contact are notified, it probably doesn't make sense to have the same person be both. Any ideas? mjd __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ The information in this e-mail, and any files transmitted with it, is intended for the exclusive use of the recipient(s) to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary or privileged information.
