  • Create planned task definitions in Workplace Core to help workplace managers easily generate tasks that are often repeated and independent of shifts such as cleaning coffee vending machines or cleaning floors. You can quickly specify the task details and the frequency at which the task is to be performed.

    Avant de commencer

    Important :
    Starting with Workplace Core (sn_wsd_core) version 2.1, all updates and new features are available only on the Workplace Service Portal. The workplace services provided by ServiceNow® are removed from the Service Portal on Workplace Core (sn_wsd_core) beginning with version 2.1. To configure the Workplace service catalog in the Service Portal, see Configure a catalog in Service Portal.

    Role required: sn_wsd_core.admin or sn_wsd_core.workplace_manager
