Why can you only make the Resolution Notes mandatory on Closure in the Major Incidents. This field should be able to be made mandatory on all ticket types. 

 

At the moment we have no way of forcing this field to be completed as it is not in the Business Rules to be able to be selected, it is not in the Field Manager to mark as Mandatory and the only place it appears is in the Closure Rules and is only able to be done on Major Incidents. This is not useful. You should be able to utilise this field (seeming it is visible on all ticket types) and make it mandatory upon closure.

 

Also we cannot make it mandatory for other Closure types other than close or resolved. Major Incident in our system also use the Closure Reason of Restored but we cannot make this field available if that is selected, which makes the field almost unusable.

Hey Cara,

We were able to create a Business Rule for this. Hope this helps 😄

Same here ​@Cara , we applied ​@SteveDewSWR’s Business Rule.  

It was actually recommended to us by Freshworks as a means to optimise Freddy AI accuracy (resolution notes are key to suggestions, trend detection etc… )

Making Resolution Notes mandatory across all ticket types would help maintain better documentation and accountability. A morse code translator is another example of a tool that makes complex tasks much easier.
