    Checkout Advanced Settings-enabled Profiles

    As per the effective advanced settings applicable for the application profiles/resource profiles, the system prompts the user to provide the justification and ITSM ticket number for submitting the checkout/approval request. Some key points to take note of :

    • Justification is required for check-out if the Advanced Settings -> Justification Settings -> Justification Required at Checkout is enabled.
    • If the regular expression is defined in the Advanced Settings, the user must provide the justification matching it. Otherwise, any value is accepted.
    • It is mandatory to provide the ticket number for check-out and approval requests if ITSM is enabled in the advanced settings.
    • If more than one ticket categories are configured, the requester needs to select a category during checkout/approval operation, and then provide the ticket number.
    • The requester can provide the exact ticket number and view the details if the ticket is valid. The ticket number provided by the requester is validated against the filter criteria defined in the settings. 
    • Alternatively, the requester can search for tickets and select one from the search results. The search result only contains the tickets that match the filter criteria defined in the settings. 
    • For ServiceNow incidents/change requests, the searchText is searched in the number and short description fields.
    • For Jira tickets, if searchText is in the Jira issue format then the system searches for the exact matching issue key. Otherwise, the text is searched in the summary and description fields.
    • The provided ticket number is audited with the checkout and approval requests. In the case of approval requests, the ticket number is shared with the approver for approval decision.
