Service catalog workflows
Two service catalog workflows are provided in the base system. Use the Graphical Workflow Editor to modify the default workflows or to create additional service catalog workflows. Service catalog workflows support domain separation.
Default service catalog workflows
- Service Catalog Request: a simple workflow that fulfills a simple order.
- Service Catalog Item Request: a more complex workflow that fulfills a more complex order.
Defining service catalog workflows
- Create a workflow to process the catalog item.
- Define the workflow activities to process the catalog item.
- Publish the catalog item workflow.
- Create or edit a catalog item to call the catalog item workflow
Deleting catalog workflow records
Workflow stage fields for service catalog workflows display when a user deletes a record required by the workflow. If a user deletes a catalog item and that catalog item has active request workflows running, the workflow stage field displays Catalog item removed. Similarly, deleting the associated workflow context causes the stage field to display Workflow context removed.
Associating items with the domain-specific workflow
When using service catalog workflows with domain separation, ensure your catalog items use the domain-specific workflow. If you create a domain-specific version of a workflow, existing catalog items continue to use the original workflow. To configure the catalog item to use the domain-specific workflow, select the new workflow in the Workflow field on the catalog item record.
