Problem Definition

• The request type description field text is cut off when viewing the description in the customer portal:
  •  
• The request type description field supports a high number of characters:
  • 
• The portal doesn't allow the description field to be expanded, but all the characters are displayed if there are multiple carriage returns(new lines)
  • 
  • 

    Suggested Solution

• Set a smaller character limit on the request type description field - a limit that corresponds to what can be displayed
• Show all the characters in the request type

Why this is important

• Customers can't read the entire description field and may miss critical information related to the request type

Workaround

• Shorten the request type description so that all the characters are displayed
• Add line breaks to description
