What are Service Request Response Categories?

Service Request Response Categories is a module used to classify Service Request Responses into generic groups based on specific similar attributes.

  • Navigate to Service Request Response Categories and explore existing entries via the Summary page. Service Request Response Categories follow a hierarchical structure, with 'parent' rows linked to multiple 'children' rows directly beneath them.
  • Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to open a modal with the related details. Select an existing Service Request Response Category for the 'parent' to make the specific  Category a child or erase the 'parent' name to make the specific Category a 'parent' itself.
  • Either SAVE the changes or cancel (X) and go back to the Summary page. 
  • Create a new Service Request Response Category (ADD) or delete an existing one (REMOVE).
  • Use EXPAND ALL  to view 'parents' and 'children' and COLLAPSE ALL to only view 'parents'.

    Check the Validations Table below for a list of available Actions when working with Service Request Response Categories including each Action's related validations and additional information. View the Attributes Table for a comprehensive description of Service Request Response Categories fields.
