Creating a Helpdesk issue from an inspection

Inspection record with an alert

This inspection record has an alert because some of the key answers were no.

You can create a new Helpdesk issue record directly from such an inspection record by clicking the New Helpdesk button.

NOTE: There is also a mini New Helpdesk button on the form itself - this makes it possible to log a new Helpdesk issue from the form directly, even if you are currently working on a works order line item which has a form attached to it.
