While filling out the incident request form from the header or request tab, you can reset the form details anytime using Reset at the bottom of the page.

Filling the Form

ServiceDesk Plus Cloud allows users to log incidents by using different templates, each customized to capture issue-specific information. You can use the default template to report an incident in case you aren't sure which template to select.
