        Move to Location picker field.

        Note: When the new location is entered a banner will be displayed listing any existing service in the location

        26 Services at the Selected Location       

        If the User clicks on the number of services in this banner, it will list those services. From that point, the User can then click on each service to see its details.
        Add New Services form

       5. Click the Save New button button. 

       6. If there are any matching SDC's (Service Desk Classification), this screen will appear and have the choice of choosing the appropriate SDC, saving without an SDC, or not saving the Action.
          Choose a Service Desk Classification form

If the User saves (with or without an SDC), an Action number will appear next to the SD#.

Ways to search for Services:

  1. If the Service ID in question is known, enter it into the field. The Service Order will auto-populate and select the Service Number.

         Service picker

       2. The User can also enter part of the Service ID in the Service field. The Service IDs that match the partial ID and display the results. Click the desired Service ID.

       3. Click on the magnifying glass in the Service field and select the appropriate Service from the list (see below).
        Select a Service form

       4. Add filters to the columns to shorten the list.
       Select a Service Filter form

Entering Workflow

At this point, if the Workflow is not populated from the Service Desk Classification, it can be entered here.

  1. From the Service Desk Action form, click on the tab.

          Workflow tab

       2. Click the Add button button.

        Workgroup picker

        Start Date field .

Optionally,  a 'Scheduled Date' may be chose and/or enter an 'Estimated Time' to complete the Workflow.

Note: A couple of things to remember about Workflow numbers:

  • They are used to order the workflow items.
  • Leave room between workflow numbers in case items need to be added later. We recommend intervals of 100.
  • Multiple WF items can have the same number. This is done when those tasks can be performed concurrently.

       6. If the charges are split between multiple GLAs, edit the percentages and make sure they total 100%.

          Percent field
