Service Console Overview

Once self-service users make requests using Archibus Workplace or using the Create Service Request task, the underlying service level agreement (SLA) determines if the request is auto-approved, or directed to a manager who can further process it. Managers reviewing requests and advancing them through the system use the Service Console to access from one place all types of requests -- auto-approved requests, such as requests for reservations and workspace, as well as requests for maintenance, space, and moves, which may require approval.

Use the Service Console to:



For your convenience, the Service Console groups the service requests by status (Requested, Approved, and so on) with a count of each status. Click the triangle-shaped icons to expand and collapse the status groupings.

 

Navigator Location

The Service Console was originally developed for Archibus Foundations, and appears on the Navigator in the Foundations / Facility Services process.

However, the Service Console is also included in the Workplace Services / Service Desk / Service Provider process because it is useful for processing service requests with a simple workflow, such as those designed to work with Archibus Foundations, or service requests that do not require multiple approvals, such as requests available from the Create Service Request task.

Service providers can manage service requests with the Service Console, or the tasks of the Workplace Services / Service Desk / Service Provider process. See Service Provider Overview
