Descriptions

Created On

Created By

The person who made the request.

Type

Indicates the reason for the request and helps in identifying next steps (i.e. who the request should be assigned to).

Additional types are added in Setup > Account > Account Request Type.

Status

Indicates the current status of a request. All new requests display as Open and will remain open until changed by a user. - I added a description to provide a little more context about the field. From here is where you bullet. You never want to just bullet something without providing a description about what those bullets mean.

Status ' include:

  • Open - The Request has not yet been handled by anyone or is actively being worked on and is not yet complete. Please revise for wordiness.

  • Hold - The Request is put on hold to be handled later or needs more time before this can to be handledcompleted. Please revise for wordiness.

  • Completed - The Request has been handled and once you change the status to Completed, . it will no longer show on this page. This was called out on the last round of edits but wasn’t changed - Technically, it does still show on the page, but you have to use a filter to see it. For this I challenge you to play around with the tool to identify how a completed task can still be displayed.

Assigned To

The user assigned to the request. Who this Request is going to be handled by.

Contact

Displays the name of the site contact. In some cases, an email displays if an email was entered in the name field of the Add/Edit Contact screen. The person to contact for any further information about this Request.

Reason Code

Identifies the request for internal purposes. (reason Reason codes are created in setup system reason code) - if you are going to include a pathway then you need to capitalize the module and tool names and include a > between the module and the tool. Setup > Set Up > System > Reason Code.

Note

Any notes that have been added to the Request that will assist in handling this Request either by the person assigned to this or the person who submitted the request. - please revise to remove the wordiness. When a customer creates a request, this is their note detailing the issue, the person assigned to the request does not add a note here.

Completion Note

Added notes that need to be added to the completion of this Request like specific notes about a location site or route needed. Please revise so this sentence is clear and specific.

  2. Review Check the status, reason code Reason Code and notes Notes about how to complete - write this with proper capitalization and punctuation.

  3. Select Complete from the Status drop down and the request will be archived. Completed requests can be viewed using the Status drop down options in the Account Request Management screen. change status to complete when done. I want you to notice the difference in descriptions here.

  4. Should they add a completion note? Why might a completion note be beneficial?

Using Linked Items

This part of the tool links items needed to proceed with this account request. - Rewrite this description..do not start a section with “this part of the tool”.

Notes:

  1. Last week we talked about capturing an image for this, and what that image should look like. Images help a reader understand what the descriptions below are referring to and is essential in doc. writing.

  2. When writing descriptions you want to provide as much detail or use case scenarios as possible and avoid just stating the obvious.
