Tracking Walk-up tickets

[Mikel Whipple]

We have helpdesk staff in different locations and sometimes the requests are people just walking up, also we consider being contacted via chat a walk-up. I am curious on how best to track these. The request-channel-type is not editable, and I am thinking I could do a simple check box, but I was wondering hpw other JSM admins were handling these types of tickets.

To supplement @Brant Schroeder suggestion, you can also implement a custom field (i.e. Single select dropdown list) to contain a value to represent "walk-up" related issues by tagging those issues with the value.

In our env, we implemented the custom field (named - "Source"), which we use automation rule on issue creation to auto-populate the field with the related option value.

Hope this helps.

Components are a great way to track and report on this type of information.  They are project specific and more than one can be applied to an issue if you need to report on additional detail.

Both are great suggestions, let me think about them both and see which I want to implement.
