  • Tabs
    • Communication
      This tab displays the request log, i.e. sent and received email messages, internal notes of the solution team, minutes of phone calls and personal meetings, records of changes in the values of request data items, etc. The name of the tab changes according to the view you can select in the drop-down menu: 
      • Communications (default view) - this view displays only records that contain some message or attachment from users. The requester of a request only has this view available and can only see records with the Show to requester option enabled.
      • Important - the view only displays events marked as important or as resolving a request.
      • Detailed log - view all request log entries.
      • Expand All - expand all records displayed on this tab.
        Tip:
        If you are looking for a particular event in a large journal, use the Expand All command, then use the Find command of your web browser (usually Ctrl+F) to search the contents of the page.

    • General
      This tab displays the values of the request items, see the columns in the requests table.

    • Links
