5.1 Understanding the Template Process

All out-of-box templates cause the following actions to occur when you create or update a ticket for an incident:

  • Write incident information to Description (Service Desk ticket description).

  • Set the Service Desk ticket summary based on the incident message.

  • Add a Log Comment to the Incident Activity Log List that shows the incident details. This provides a record of the changes that have occurred to the incident.

  • Sets the Service Desk priority based on the severity of the incident in Enterprise Manager.

The out-of-box templates are as follows:

  • CASD_Default_Incident.xsl

    The CASD_Default_Incident.xls template creates, updates, or reopens a Service Desk ticket using the default field mapping. The template does not close the ticket when the event severity value becomes Clear.

  • CASD_Default_Incident_AutoClose.xsl

    The CASD_Default_Incident_AutoClose.xsl template creates, updates, or reopens a Service Desk ticket using the default field mapping. The template sets the ticket status to Closed when the event severity value becomes Clear.
