Progressive Capture Forms
Service Manager provides a number of default forms that are available to use when building the Progressive Capture scripts for raising requests.
- Add Attachments
- The 'Add Attachments' form provides the ability to include files when raising a request. Multiple attachments can be provided and individual descriptions can be applied to each.
- Analyst Assignment
- The 'Analyst Assignment' provides options for assigning the request to a team and an owner. You can choose to assign the request to just a team or to a team and a specified analyst.
Analyst Request Type
The 'Analyst Request Type' PCF allows an analyst to choose the type of request that will be created. This PCF form is most commonly seen in the 'New Request' progressive capture flow as the analyst may not know which type of request needs to be raised when they first start capturing information:
Asset Details
The 'Asset Details' PCF allows an analyst to associate assets to the request. By default, all assets that are associated to the customer of the request are shown however it is also possible to perform a general search on assets that are in the system. It's possible to associate multiple assets to each request:
Change Type
Customer Request Type
The 'Customer Request Type' PCF allows the customer to choose what type of request they are raising. This PCF is most commonly seen on the 'New Self Service' progressive capture flow which is used by both the Hornbill Service and Customer portals. It is slightly different to the PCF 'Analyst Request Type' in that it only offers the ability to select a request type of Incident (Something is broken) or Service Request (I need something):
Customer Search
Known Error Details
Organisation Details
Request Category
Request Details
Request Priority
Service Details
