Notes on States
Please note that it is possible to have an installation set up, that changes the names if the various ticket state names shown below. These controls are not available through PCR-360. If your Organization uses such mapping, please see your internal documentation to translate the states explained below.
State Name | State Definition |
|---|---|
Created | This state indicates an item has been created, but it's visibility within PCR-360 is restricted until it is approved. |
Requested | This state indicates a request has been submitted, but it's visibility within PCR-360 is restricted until it is approved. |
