Service Requests

Service Requests are the central tool for tracking work, queries and tasks across your OMCs. A request can relate to a specific unit and contact, or be a general OMC-level task. Each request has a status (Open, Resolved, Accepted) and an action status (Planned, Waiting, Overdue, Complete, etc.) so you can track both the overall outcome and the day-to-day progress.

Requests can be raised by managers directly, submitted through a community channel by a contact, or created automatically from a recurring job template. They can be assigned to an agent, linked to a parent request, associated with a work order, and billed to the OMC or the unit owner.

The list views let you filter by agent, OMC, status and priority to focus on what needs action today. The conversation tab records all internal notes and communications related to the request.
