Subject: Qualification Anomaly discovered in Operational/Product Tiered Menus 
for Incident Managment 7.5.

All,

I wanted to make everyone aware of an anomaly I found with the menu 
qualifications in the the Operational/Product tiered menus attached to the 
HPD:HelpDesk form in Incident Mgt v7.5.01. The qualifications, used in the 
Incident Mgt v7.5 menus to pull in the menu values from Company Module 
Relationship Config dialog forms for both the Operational and Product 
categorizations are different from the Incident Mgt 7.1 versions of the same 
menus (they are even the same name). The qualifications found in the v7.5 menus 
disables the functionality offered by the checkboxes under the support modules 
(User Service Restoration, Infrastructure Event etc....) on the Company/Module 
Relationship configuration forms for displaying or hiding Categorizations based 
on Incident type field on the Incident form.

NOTE: I have not compared the menu qualifications for Change and Problem Mgt 
menus yet.

Has anyone else seen this behavior with ITSM patch 7.5.01? And if so have you 
put in a request for this to be fixed in the next patch for Remedy 7.5?

Below is a side by side comparison of the menu qualifications from both 7.1 and 
7.5. Notice that dynamic field values from the Configuration forms (ex. 
$1000000000001$) are used in the version 7.1 menus allowing for the menu to 
cross check to allow the Categorizations to display or hide:
