Introduction

Service Manager provides a number of different ways in which an Incident can be created and logged.

  • Manually as a user with the appropriate role and rights
  • As a customer via either the Service or Customer Portal
  • Inbound Email
  • 3rd party applications via integrations

Logging an Incident Manually

Service Manager has been developed to provide a consumer level experience for logging Incidents (and other Request Types) by following a process of Progressive Capture. Progressive Capture is a graphical workflow tool that provides a new and simple way to define the capturing of information for a particular Incident. Progressive Capture will include a number of small forms for collecting information related to the Incident. These forms can be optionally added, ordered, and branched depending on the information being captured.
