This section on Service Management covers the applications in the Service Desk and Service Level modules. Much of this chapter will be relevant to Work Management; Service Groups, Ticket Ownership, Work View, Related Records, Work Log and Communication Log, and the three episodes on Service Level Agreements are all applicable.
Note. I’ve got two more to write on Activities and Tasks, and the Self-Service SR applications.
