Thanks J.T.

I'm using the HPD:WorkLog now for the modify portion of the ticket... rather 
than allowing them to update any field, we set it so it would just add a 
WorkLog entry if the Subject of the email contains an Incident Number.  I'll 
look into if further for the attachments.

Thanks again!
- Mary

creating a new Incident

One way to do this, though it is a lot of work, is to create a new form that 
combines the data from the Email Messages form and the Email Attachments form 
and pushes the joined data, using a table loop, to HPD:Work Log. This way it 
creates a separate work log entry for each attachment.

Take a look at how HPD:WorkLog relates to HPD:Help Desk and you should be able 
to figure out what fields to push. You can push attachments like any other 
field. The trick is matching an attachment to an email and looping through all 
of the possible attachments.

new Incident

Morning All!

I've set up workflow to create new or modify existing records in Incident 
Management when a request is submitted via email thru the AR System Email 
Messages form; however I'm struggling with getting it to include any 
attachments.

I've searched thru arslist and BMC's KB for different phrases, but am not 
finding anything about it... I'm guessing I'm using wrong phrases or words, so 
if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it!  Or 
if there are any whitepapers, etc about the process that's even better :).

I have a pdf on the Email Engine however it's using a template but we want to 
do this freeform, so basically if an email is submitted into the AR System 
Email Messages form, AND it gets pushed into the Incident Management app, then 
I need any attachments that were sent in the email to be attached to the ticket 
we created or modified.

Thanks so much for any assistance!!! :)
