  • The self service applications give customers, consumers, and partners the tools to resolve issues, track their cases and orders, access knowledge, and manage their own service relationships without contacting an agent. These applications are available as separate installs from the ServiceNow Store and are built on the same CRM data model that agents use in the workspace.
