Type.  itmSUITE® call it ''[[Glossary|Ticket type]]''.
 
*  Status ''[[Glossary|Workflow status]]''
 
*  How ''[[Glossary|Workflow status]]'' are connecting. Is only a one direction transtion, from status A to B, or we can came back to A, bidirectional transition.
 
* Which one of the idenfied ''[[Glossary|Workflow status]]' is a Final Status?''
 
 
Once we have drawn our process we have to think which ''[[Glossary|Resource]]'' , or better witch ''[[Glossary|Role]]'' can be enabled to execute the transition. Then we can design the Form and give a grant to the ''[[Glossary|Resource]]. ''
 
 
=== Workflow Roles ===
 
 
The li

Static ''[[Glossary|Role]]'' are the once assigned to the user, Dynamic role are configured to the resource due to is belonging to a ''[[Glossary|Service]]'' or a ''[[Glossary|Solution Group]]'' or a ''[[Glossary|Client Organization Unit ]]''  or because the resource act as Creator of ''[[Glossary|Ticket]]''

=== Workflow Status ===
 
 
itmSUITE® enable the user to create how many status is needed to deploy is workflow. When the user create the workflow, the system create for him 9-legacy status:
 
 
* Default
 
* Opened
 
* Defined
 
* Runinng
 
* In Charge
 
* Completed
 
* Closed
 
* Reopened
 
* Cancelled
 
 
this status are called legacy, because the system act in a particular way when they are reached by ''[[Glossary|ticket ]]''
 
 
The ''[[Glossary | Administrator]]'' can create others ''[[Glossary|status]]'' that will be used to drown the desire workflow
 
 
=== Define a Transition  ===
 
 
Transition are the connection between ''[[Glossary|status]]''. Definie a transition means:
 
* select starting ''[[Glossary|status]]'' , say Defualt
 
* select ending ''[[Glossary|status]]'' , say Opened
 
* choose the ''[[Glossary|role]]'' authorized to perform this transtion, e.g. Creator
 
We can create a One-way transition or bi-directional transition.
 
 
Many [[Glossary|roles]] can be enabled to perform a single transition.
 
 
=== Form Designer  ===
 
 
User interact with the workflow via ''[[Glossary|Ticket form]]''. To create a Ticket form the ''[[Glossary|administator]]'' can :
 
 
* Identify the necessary standard field
 
* Create custom field
 
* Create Form layout
 
 
Form designer , think a form as a blank page, than the ''[[Glossary|administator]]'' can create Sections, and devide it in columns and compose the page inserting the fields.
 
 
 
 
=== Grant Management  ===
 
 
''[[Glossary | Administrator]]'' can keep Visible or Mandatory some field based on ''[[Glossary | Ticket Status]]''and
 
''[[Glossary | Resource role]]''
 
 
For example, ''[[Glossary | Ticket creator]]'' see the necessary fields to define an issue, but ''[[Glossary| Service desk operator]]'' that keep in charge the issue has available the first set of fields plus the once necessary to Categorize and Analyse the issue. When the ''[[Glossary | Ticket ]]'' will be completed the ''[[Glossary | Ticket creator]]'' should have the orignal set of fields plus the solution.
