Business Rule Designer
Schedulers are introduced in Business Rule Designer that enables you to schedule incidents for automating different tasks such as Updating Fields, Sending Notifications in a scheduler manner. Few examples of this could be auto resolving incidents that are pending since more than 2 months, sending notifications to Workgroup Owner if a VIP ticket is left unattended for more than 3 hours, or auto-cancel old incidents. This way, all the low value activities traditionally done by technicians can be offloaded to Business Rule Designer, thereby enabling the technicians to focus on high value activities.
- Incident Closing Mode is introduced in Business Rule Designer that enable you to close the incidents automatically or manually as per business requirements. Automation of incident closure helps the Administrator to define the closure mode based on the variety of criteria. The key piece to this auto closure feature is the ability to automatically close the incidents based on the following:
- Business Days - Business days will not include Holidays and Weekends
- Calendar Days - Calendar days will include Holidays and Weekends
Call Management
When a Call is resolved, the technicians are now prompted to select the Closure Code. Consequently, the technicians can update the Closure Code as Successful, Unsuccessful, Deferred etc. As a result, the Service Desk can build visibility with Reports that help them to objectively measure the service quality and also identify and execute opportunities that enhance Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), as a part of continual service improvement.
Introduced a list of relevant Knowledge Articles as recommended solution when the Analyst is typing in the user’s query in the Call Record. This enables the Analysts to instantly resolve the user’s queries, thereby improving the overall customer experience. Hence, we have integrated Knowledge Management and Call Management.
Change Management
You can now set rules that would automatically close the Implemented Change Requests after a specific period. Defining the Closure Mode (Auto / Manual) is important because it -
Eliminates the need for technicians to manually close the Change Requests
Enables the Service Desk to operationalize the business process laid out by the organization
Eliminates any potential human errors - miss out closure of CRs etc.
Better control over Notifications can now be established by configuring when the Analysts should receive the notifications during the life cycle of the Change Request. Administrators can decide if the Analysts should be notified after every Approval or Update or should be notified only after the CR is assigned to them.
Problem Management
Operational Level Agreements can now be defined for the Work Orders created from Problem Records, similar to Incident and Service Requests. As a result, it ensures that the internal SLAs between teams are met and thereby ensure on-time delivery of service. OLAs act as a foundation of good practise and common agreement.
The Approvers can now approve, review or reject the Problem Records directly over email. The details of the Problem Record can be embedded in the email, thereby eliminating the need for Approvers to traverse back and forth between mail and SummitAI Web Application for approvals.
You can now customize the Work Order Forms of Problem Record by adding custom attributes defined at the Problem Record level. This allows the Analysts to capture the details at the Work Order level by filling in the custom attributes, thereby enabling better tracking.
Service Request
- Introduced a restriction to prohibit the Requestor to select the same user as an Approver for User Group Approval in SR workflow, while configuring Service Request at Tenant level. Hence, enhanced the approval process by restricting the Requestor as one of the Approver. Hence, it will be helpful to avoid misuse or manipulation of the authorized access.
For example, User1 is the Requestor and User Group Approval group comprises of User1, User2 and User3. This feature prohibits the User1 to select User1 (self) as approver.
Database Schema DN Tables
The following new DN tables are added for Service Management in SummitAI Service Management Database Schema Definition Guide.
- DN table are now developed to capture the checklist parameters such as Checklist Name, Status, Updated By – This can be used to build Reports that would help provide visibility on how the checklists are updated by Analysts for Incident Management module. (IM_RPT_DN_Change_Checklist_History)

It holds all the detail about the Service Catalogs. (SR_RPT_DN_ServiceCatalog_Master)
