== Introduction ==
 
  
The Service Request Catalogs provide a structured way of promoting the available types of requests for a particular Service. Items in the Request Catalog are available to subscribed users of a Service on the Hornbill Portals and can also be accessed by Support Staff to provide a standard way of raising a particular type of request. Each item in the Request Catalog can be configured to run its own unique Progressive Capture Script allowing you to prompt for information required for that request and it can run its own Business Process Workflow to define how that request will be fulfilled.

The Request Catalog Items have been created in a way to allow each Catalog Item to be published to either Portal Users, Support Staff, or both.  Publishing a Catalog Item to both of these groups enables a member of the support team to raise a request on behalf of a user while following the same steps that the user would experience in the portals.  This ensures that the same information is captured no matter what the source is.
