Somehow I lost your message.,

We have 2 different groups in the Support section using tickets to track calls coming in. I would like to have a form that is defaulted for each group.

Is that possible?

Hi Aaron,
 
I'm afraid this is not possible within Zendesk. You cannot set different default ticket forms for each agent/group. Users really has to manually select the form from the dropdown.
 
Alternatively, you can create a macros (that you can make exclusive to each group) to set the ticket form to the correct one, but I'm not sure that's better than the user simply selecting the correct form. I hope this answers your question!

Heather that sounds like exactly what I need to do, but I do not see Contextual Workspaces in my Admin center. Is that something I need to add?

Hmmm, Aaron, it looks like you need to have Enterprise to use Contextual Workspace. Hopefully you have that!

I see, no we just have the Professional.

Thanks

What would be really helpful is to have categories for Forms in the same way there are categories for Guide Articles. This would allow us to create much more effective user journeys, by allowing us to break up increasing long lists of forms and having separate custom request pages for each.  (i.e. Orders, Property, HR etc)  or including it as a variable /drop down/filter in the request page.

I have conditional fields for support of a rail line: specifically, there are multiple rail lines, and depending on the rail line selected, I then have the relevant rail stations populate. When customers enter a ticket, they only end up making two selections: Rail District X and Rail Station Y. 

However, when the end user views the request and form through the web browser, they see their entered values for Rail District X and Rail Station Y, plus null fields for Rail District A-W and Rail Station A-X (see screenshot below). Is it possible to hide the unused fields in this view?

Hey Richard Burns

Have you verified that your conditional fields are conditional for both agents and end-users? 
See step #3 in this article?

Let me know if you resolves your issue!

Brandon (729) They weren't at first, but I have since created this same conditional fields for agents and end-users. 

Initially I manually created the same conditional triggers for agents and end-users, but to ensure that they were identical I copied the agent conditions to the end-users and then re-added any additional conditions that were overwritten.

This did not seem to resolve the issue, as all unused fields are still displayed.

Hmmm - it might be helpful to see a screenshot of your conditions for the form (also, make sure you refresh if you haven't done that yet).  One thing to call out - everything will be visible if it's *not* a conditional field somewhere.  Are you also able to share a link to your help center (if it's public)?

Hi Brandon (729),

Here is the link https://metrasupport.zendesk.com/ 

Here are the agent conditions:

Here are the end user conditions:

Take a look and let me know if I've missed something obvious.

everything will be visible if it's *not* a conditional field somewhere. 

Can you clarify all locations that "somewhere" refers to in the quote above? When the fields themselves are created, is there somewhere within the configuration where I need to assign a conditional status?

Hi Richard Burns

Your conditioning looks sound, and it appears everything is working correctly for me:


I would suggest testing in an incognito window - you may have a caching issue on your hands.

Re: *Conditioned Somewhere* - Fields will be visible if they are not tied to at least one condition on the form.

Cheers,

Brandon

Hey Richard Burns -

I've just figured out you are talking about the requests portal - which is not impacted by the conditional fields on the form itself!  My apologies for the confusion.

This awesome tip from our Zendesk Community is the answer to your question.

Cheers,

Brandon

Hello I had a quick question.

 

On our main brand we have our main form which houses everything, I'm looking to create another form but have it hidden and only accessible through a URL if possible? Creating another form within the same brand creates a drop down where they would have to choose between one of the two forms which isn't what we would.

This hidden form would be used for one off situations and I wouldn't want to create another brand to house one single.
