That should probably be a Change Template, Jase, since the process should at
some point go through an approval process.

I was on a project that built something like that from scratch once, before
ITSM 7, though.  Think through all the ways you could use recurring changes,
and then see what functionality already exists in that module (if you have
it).  If you just have Incident, you'll have to build it, but it can
certainly be done.

Jase,

Would you really classify that as an incident or a task? It appears more of
a scheduled task than an incident which by definition is often random and
often unpredictable. What your chief wants is more of a task that is to be
assigned every first Monday of every month.

Why not just build a simple task scheduler to hold such tasks rather than
putting them down as incidents?

  Hello All,
  ARS 7.0.01
  SQL Server 2005

  The chief just stopped by and asked me if we could have Incident Templates
created based on time.
  Ex. Automatically have an incident created the first Monday of every month
to reboot the server, etc.

  My first thought is an escalation of some kind, but when I look at the
Incident templates there is nothing time related.
  I thought somebody on the list has probably already done this or may have
a good starting point, etc.

  Thanks,

  Jase Brandon

Time Based Incident Template Creation

2008-02-18 Thread Jase Brandon
Hello All,
ARS 7.0.01
SQL Server 2005

The chief just stopped by and asked me if we could have Incident Templates
created based on time.
Ex. Automatically have an incident created the first Monday of every month
to reboot the server, etc.

My first thought is an escalation of some kind, but when I look at the
Incident templates there is nothing time related.
I thought somebody on the list has probably already done this or may have a
good starting point, etc.

Thanks,

Jase Brandon
