Environment

Novell Service Desk 7.1
Novell Service Desk 7.2
Novell Service Desk 7.3
ZENworks Service Desk 8.2

Situation

In NSD v7.1, the Description field in "Ticket Information" screen is comparatively smaller than the previous versions.
If emails are big, it may take long to read them by scrolling down. 

In ZSD v8.2 that uses the new Angular coding, see additional notes below for other changes.

Resolution

The area/size of the Description field can be changed by modifying the following file:

Windows
\Program Files\ServiceDesk\Server\webapps\LiveTime\WEB-INF\LiveTime.woa\Contents\Resources\RequestDescriptionPanel.wo\RequestDescriptionPanel.wod

Linux
/usr/local/ServiceDesk/Server/webapps/LiveTime/WEB-INF/LiveTime.woa/Contents/Resources/RequestDescriptionPanel.wo/RequestDescriptionPanel.wod

 Appliance v6.x-v7.2
/srv/tomcat6/webapps/LiveTime/WEB-INF/LiveTime.woa/Contents/Resources/RequestDescriptionPanel.wo/RequestDescriptionPanel.wod

 Appliance v7.3 and above
/opt/novell/nsd/servicedesk/Server/webapps/LiveTime/WEB-INF/LiveTime.woa/Contents/Resources/RequestDescriptionPanel.wo/RequestDescriptionPanel.wod

Change the following:

Generic1: WOGenericContainer {
 elementName = "div";
 style = "width:99%;height: 300px;padding: 5px;overflow: auto;background: #ffffff;border: 1px solid #B2B8BD;border-left: 4px solid #B2B8BD;";
}


Changes are in block letters and underlined.

After the above change, restart NSD service as well as Tomcat6 in the server.
