Raise Projects From Service Manager Business Processes

Use the Hornbill Integration Bridge (iBridge) in the business processes supporting requests in Service Manager to automate the creation of new Projects in Project Manager. Once a new Project has been created in the Service Manager business process linked to a request, the request the process is running against will automatically be related to the new project in the Project Relationships list.
