Service Catalog Management

What are Service Catalog Packages?

The Administrator or the user who have the appropriate access can create a Package of multiple Service Catalogs to create multiple Service Requests at a time. The created Service Catalog Packages are available on the NEW SERVICE REQUEST page for the selected Tenant. End Users need to fill in all the information related to Catalogs inside the Package while creating the Service Requests.

Example: While on boarding new employees, HR needs to create multiple SRs (for laptop and software). The HR head or Administrator can create a Package with those catalogs. The HR can log multiple SRs at a time with this package.

  1.  Select Catalog > User > Package.
  2. Click ADD NEW on the PACKAGES page. The PACKAGE CONFIGURATION page is displayed.
  3. Select the Tenant and fill in all the details on the GENERAL and FIELDS MAPPING tab. For more details about fields on the PACKAGE CONFIGURATION page, see the Field Description table below.
