Add Assets for a Ticket

Last Updated: 12/03/2015 Introduced in Verision: 2.0

Service Desk is similar to a help desk, but service desk solves more problems using fewer steps, enables integrations of business processes into the service management infrastructure, and offers more services. This includes ensuring all affected assets of a ticket are associated with a service desk appropriately.

When submitting a ticket, a user should provide accurate and comprehensive data to speed issue tracking and resolution.

A user can add a contact to a ticket, then link an asset to the contact.

To add an asset to a ticket’s contact, add the ticket, add the contact to the ticket, then link the asset to the contact using the Add TaskContact pop-up.

Example

In the example, we will:

  1. Add an asset to the CMDB.
  2. Add a ticket using the Quick option.
  3. Add a contact to the ticket.
  4. Add the asset to the ticket’s contact.

To begin, we navigate to the folder CMDB and click the Add Computer button.
