Step 12: Prompt for another Response SLT

The next step is to ask the user if they want to add another response SLT. If they do, this panel must call the out-of-box Reponse SLT wizard again. If they do not want to add any more response SLTs, they should be shown the final wizard screen.

Perform the following two tasks to design a wizard panel to prompt for another Response SLT.

Task 1: Create a wizard for more Response SLTs

For this task, you will create a wizard so that users can create more Response SLTs.

To create a wizard so that users can create more Response SLTs, follow these steps:

  1. Click Tailoring > Wizards. The Wizard information form opens.
  2. Select the Wizard Info tab.
  3. In the Wizard Name field, type SLA Create Response 2, and then click Add.

    Caution If you use an existing SLA record to create a new SLA wizard panel, click Add rather than Save. If you click Save, you will replace the existing record with the new record you are attempting to add.

  4. In the Wizard Info tab, complete the following fields.

    Field Value
    Start Node? Leave this option unchecked.
    Brief Description

    Type:

    This wizard panel will ask the user if they want to add another Response SLT.

    Window Title

    Type:

    Create another Response SLT

    Title

    Type:

    Create another Response SLT

  5. Select the File Selection tab and the Select $L.file by subtab to complete the following field:

    Field Value
    Initial Expression: $L.create.response.slo=false
    No $L.file (use typecheck) Select this option to initialize a typecheck file, which acts as a holding file.
  6. Select the Usage tab and complete the following fields to determine the action that Service Manager should take when the wizard is run:

    Field Value
    Sub Format to Display

    Enter a subformat name of the format to display. Type:

    sla.create.ask.other.response

    Request User Input checked.
    Turn Off Previous Button Only checked
  7. Select the Actions tab to define the actions when a user clicks Next, Cancel, or Previous within the wizard. Complete the following field:

    Field Value
    Perform Actions On

    Here you can specify which record(s) will be affected by the action that you are going to perform. This can either be the current file, the list selected (as a whole), or an action to be performed on every single record selected.

    Select Current File ($L.file).

    Wizard Variables

    $L.create.response.slo

    $L.crate.avail.slo

  8. Select the Next Wizard tab and complete the following fields:

    Field Value
    Wizard Name

    This is the name of the next wizard in a series of wizards. Type:

    SLA Create Response 1

    Condition

    The condition determines what happens next. In this case, you entered the next wizard in sequence and an expression that evaluates to "true." Alternatively, you can specify different wizazrds, based on user actions or selections. Type:

    $L.create.response.slo=true

    Wizard Name

    This is the name of the next wizard in a series of wizards. Type:

    SLA Create Availability 1

    Condition

    Type:

    $L.create.avail.slo=true

    Wizard Name

    This is the name of the next wizard in a series of wizards. Type:

    SLA Create 8

    Condition

    Type:

    true

  9. When you are finished, click Save.

You have created the wizard so that users can create more Response SLTs. Next, you will create the new wizard form in Forms Designer.

Task 2: Create a form for more Response SLTs

For this task, you will use Forms Designer to create form controls that ask users if they want to create an additional Service Level Target record.

To create a new form for a wizard that creates more Response SLTs, follow these steps:

  1. Start the Forms Designer.
  2. In the Form field, type sla.create.ask.other.response.

    Best Practice: Because the form name must match the subformat display entry exactly, you can copy the subformat display entry in the Usage tab and paste it into the Form field. This will help you to avoid spelling errors.

  3. Click New.
  4. Click No for Forms wizard.
  5. Create the following for this form. When you start to design the new form, make sure the X and Y coordinates are at 0 (zero).
