  • Use the customer impact tab to reduce navigation time, and enhance tracking and management of PSEW processes. This visibility enables you to quickly assess business impact and take informed actions.

    The customer impact tab is available in incident, change, and problem case records and is aligned with the diagnostic framework. This tab displays key metrics and insights across customer accounts, reactive cases, and install base items. It improves visibility and streamlines decision-making during PSEW processes.
