MEETING NOTES

DISCUSSION

  1. Released a few items for START over the weekend.  The changes are not noticeable to current production users and there have been no reports of any issues.
  2. Ricardo was leading the charge for getting more resources but is currently on vacation and can't provide an update.  Will get Adriene involved to get the updates.
  3. We have a defect in the script that updates org data in the system.  The data has become stale and the script will need to be updated to reflect current data.  If this is not done it will impact the START replacement project ask it will disrupt their workflow.
  4. D-564 (Incident Survey not creating tasks):  Still under investigation.  Bill has ticket in with ServiceNow regarding a fix for this.  Issue seems to be when the survey is filled out by someone not logged into ServiceNow.
  5. R-943 (Knowledge:  Enable copy/paste of information into a KB article with no need to reformat the data) is on hold until Dorothy returns and says she's ready for this to go back into Test.
  6. R-813 (Allow clients to request assistance online via chat) was moved up the priority list.
  7. R-902 (Cheryl Boeher needs ability to edit Problems after they are closed) Cheryl OK with removing this from the list and adding to the problem process rework.  Bill will reopen these problems for Cheryl on a case by case basis.  There are not many of these.
  8. Added R-731 (Reporting:  Please grant access to the Metrics folks to view a few KB tables for reporting) to the list per Rick Smith
  9. Bill on vacation August 12 - 16th
