Knowledge Management Enhancements

Now, CINDE uses enhanced Knowledge Management and helps the users to get the quick and most relevant answers to the quires.

Use Custom Table Data in Autofill Control

Now, the Administrators can create separate Custom tables in Web Services to store the custom values that should be displayed in the Autofill control. 

In the Autofill control, a new data source option, Custom Table is added in the Options drop-down list. By selecting this option, the Administrators can view the tables created in Web Services and can configure the Custom table dynamic column as a data sourceUsing the Autofill control, the Administrators can also create parent-child relationships using the custom data of the custom tablesFor information about Autofill control properties, see Creating Service Catalogs with Autofill Controls.

Dynamic Approvals for Service Catalogs

Many of the times, we cannot achieve business objectives with a Static Approval process. We have specific conditions where the record needs to routed to different Approvers based on factors, such as Region, Country, or with some other criteria. In such a case, we need to set up one Static Approval process for each such condition. Now, Dynamic Approval processes can be configured for Service Catalogs. In Dynamic Approval process, the Approvers are assigned dynamically to the record from the Custom Tables based on the values provided by the users on the Service Catalog.

Auto-Rejection/Approval of Change Requests

The Change Requests can now get auto-rejected or approved if they are pending for any action for a configured period of time. A notification e-mail is sent to the Change Requester accordingly. This helps in clearing the queue for the long pending Change Requests.
