Track Service Requests
The Service Request tracking process informs the caller and the assignees about the work progress. Some notifications can include comments left by the requester or the assignee.
In SimpleOne, this process is implemented as notifications sent by email. Notifications delivered "out-of-the-box" are described below:
| Notification | Description | Recipients |
|---|---|---|
| Request is registered | This notification is sent when a new service request is registered. | Caller |
| Approval is requested | This notification is sent when approval tickets are sent to the approvers. See the Approvals article to learn more. | Caller |
| Request is approved | This notification is sent when the service request is approved. The assigned user receives a notification to start processing the service request. | Caller, Assigned user |
| Request is assigned | This notification is sent to the service request assignee when a service request is approved and assigned to a responsible person (the state changes to Assigned). | Assigned user |
| Request is assigned to group | This notification is sent to agents included in the assignment group. If the group is not specified, the field is populated automatically with the default group defined by the itsm_request.default.assignment_group property. | Assignment group |
| Assigned user is changed | This notification is sent when reassigning the service request from one user to another. | Assigned user |
| Assignment group is changed | This notification is sent when reassigning the service request from one group to another. | Assignment group |

| Request is resubmitted | This notification is sent when the postponed service request has been taken into processing: the state changes to In progress either automatically (on specified day and time defined in the Resumption of work field) or manually by an agent. | Assigned user |
| Additional information requested | This notification is sent when additional information has been requested to proceed with this service request (the state changes to Information needed). | Caller |

| Request is closed | This notification is sent when the service request state is changed from Completed to Closed by the caller. | Assigned user |
| Request is closed (automatically) | This notification is sent when the service request state is changed from Completed to Closed automatically. | Caller |
