Ordering Service Actions within ASM Core

Analysts can order Service Actions from within ASM Core on behalf of Users.

Before you start

You must have Workflow Analyst selected in the Shared tab of your Workflow Management security role.

Analysts can override User subscriber group when logging a request for a User.

1. Display the CMDB Search window and click to highlight the service action you want to order.

You can also order from within the Service Action Details window.

1. Select the Service Order icon from the toolbar.

1. The Request Details windows appears if you select the button from a CMDB Item Search window, and the Call Logging window appears if you are working in a Service Action Details window. The windows displayed will be based on the template specified in the Service Action Details window.

2. Complete the details, specifying the quantity if you wish to order multiple quantities.

3. Save the details, by selecting Internal, External (for Calls), Defer, Save or Submit (for Requests).

4. The service order is created as if it was ordered from the Self Service Portal, including the automatic allocation of a unique number.

Ordering multiple quantities

You can order multiple quantities of the same service action, assuming that the service action and your permissions allow it.

The Service Order Item Quantity field must be added to the Call/Request screen set in Designer and be editable if the Service Action has Order Multiple Quantities selected.
