* * * New or Improved for 2014.1 * * *  Using a Cascading Validation List

This example illustrates how to trigger values from additional fields or a combo box (cascading validation list) by creating a service that uses a value based on the field OwnerTeam.

Before configuring this option, ensure you have a standard user team called Desktop Support that it is populated with active employee names.

1. Log into the Service Desk Console as an administrator, and open the Request Offering workspace. The list of request offerings appears.
2. Enter "overnight" in the Search Service Offerings text box. The Overnight Standby Request offering appears.

Ensure the Cascading Validation Definition shows Standard User Team object and the OwnerTeam field.

When the end-user selects Overnight Standby Request: Desktop Service from the Service Catalog, the service field OwnerTeam automatically populates the Service Support Team Member list from the Employee Team: Desktop Support list. The OwnerTeam must be previously configured to include team members. (See Using Teams.)
