Answers
A1 - Should I handle Workflow Approval tickets the same way as other TDx tickets?
No. Each ticket is predicated on a series of workflow steps that happen sequentially. Please do not take any of the following actions in regards to a ticket with workflow steps pending:
- Change the Status
- Reassign
- Edit
- Change Responsibility
- Take a Ticket
- Add a ticket to My Work (which changes the responsibility)
Taking any of these actions will cancel the ticket request and stop the workflow.

A2- What steps do I need to take to ensure a ticket gets to its intended destination?
When viewing a ticket, look at the Current Activities area. If the ticket calls for an action on your part, complete the action, and then choose Approve (or Reject) the Workflow Step.

You can view the progress of any ticket, including all associated tasks and approvals, by clicking on the History button, located on the right-hand side of the ticket.
