I’m trying to set up a ticket template not tied to a location I can use for checking out temporary AV devices. 

  1. Open a new ticket
  2. Edit requestor to the appropriate user (changes the location to their assigned location/room)
  3. Select the ticket template

Once I’ve selected the template, the location is changed to my default location. After submitting, the user is changed to me. 

Can a ticket template not use the information on the new ticket screen? I don’t want to submit a ticket for myself then have to go back and change all the info for the actual user. 

If the workflow should be selecting the template first, why can I not select the user before submitting?

 

Even going through a user profile to submit a ticket, trying to use the ticket template changes it all back to my info. Am i missing something?

 

Also, to accomplish this, I’ve created “dummy” model/issue categories and issuse under the “Devices/Hardware” Ticket Type to tie a temporary device via Spare Pools to tickets (DVD players, boom boxes, etc.). Is there a better way to check out devices temporarily that can be tied to a ticket and assigned a due date?

I hope you're doing well, and thank you for reaching out to Incident IQ Support. Currently, when a ticket template is applied, it reverts certain fields such as requester and location to match the default settings tied to the template or the logged-in user. This is expected behavior  at the moment, as templates are designed to standardize tickets based on predefined settings.
At this time, ticket templates can’t preserve the requester or location information you enter before applying the template. The recommended workflow is to select the template first and then update the requester afterward, before submitting the ticket.
