Important - please read the following before continuing

The instructions in this article involve customizing ServiceDesk Workflow projects using Workflow Designer.
It is strongly recommended that customization of Workflow projects only be undertaken by Workflow or
ServiceDesk administrators who are experienced with creating, modifying, and publishing Workflow projects.

It is strongly recommended that the instructions in this article are first implemented and tested on a
development or test installation of ServiceDesk. This will help ensure that the customization works as the
user intends it to before introducing the changes to a production environment.

Any and all instructions for customizing ServiceDesk are provided "AS-IS". Symantec Technical Support is
generally unable to assist in implementing customizations or in troubleshooting any issues that arise as a
result of implementing customizations. Symantec Technical Support is also unable to assist the customer in
learning how to customize ServiceDesk. This level of support is provided by Consulting Services. For
