Generic Request

Hi All,  

I am curious if anyone out there is using the request module, REQ, RITM, SCTASK for end users   or fulfillers to submit tickets.   ie anything that is not broken or a HOW TO question?   Or do you have all tickets from end user and fulfillers as Incidents?    

Thanks

Dennis

Hi Dennis,



The best practice is to have requests, requested items, and catalog tasks be handled through the Service Catalog. They are fulfilled by fulfillment team. E.g. order a laptop, upgrade a phone, etc.



Service Catalog



Incidents are more transactional break/fix work.

Let me know if you have any additional questions/issues.



FWIW, you might find a wider audience for this type of question in the IT Service Management space in the future.


HI Chuck



Thanks,   we have configured a generic request form that inherits the request and catalog workflows.   OOB I see that ServiceNow has what they appear to be a request (how can we help) tied to the incident workflow.


Chuck do you have any request forms end users would submit   (like for anything that is not break fix or a How To) using the request and catalog workflows?


Hi Dennis,



I'm not entirely sure I understand the outcome/objective here. Can you give a use case/example?
