Enhancements :

  • SDF- 27495 : Release Management in ServiceDesk Plus

    ServiceDesk Plus now supports Release Management in the IT help desk. Release management allows you to plan, build, test, and deploy releases to the production environment. A release can be defined as the process of delivering a set of authorized changes to IT services in a controlled environment. You can use release management to deploy hardware, software, documentation, processes, guidelines, policies, and other components to service operations. Throughout its life cycle, the release process is closely associated with the change management process.

    ServiceDesk Plus supports the following 9 stages that are essential to any release process :

    • Submission
    • Planning
    • Development
    • Testing
    • UAT
    • Deployment
    • Training
    • Review
    • Closure

    Each stage in the release management contains statuses that indicate the progress of a release within the stage. Besides statuses, each stage has its planned schedule, roles, approvals, tasks and in some cases, downtimes.

    You can create a release request easily by using pre-configured templates, associate workflows with release requests to define the direction of the flow of the release process. Using workflows, you can include statuses in each stage, set up approvals, allocate stage-wise permissions to users, and configure notifications.To learn more about release management, Click here.

Changes on business rules associated to the default site will not reflect in the copy site.

  • SDSiteAdmin cannot view or configure incident business rules.

  • In business rules with custom action to update the request template, all fields except the fields which the requester can set will be updated. The existing values will be retained for fields that the requester can set.

  • In business rules with custom actions to update the request status, the new status will be updated even if the Override field values with Business Rule values option is disabled.

  • For custom scripts configured with $COMPLETE_V3_JSON_FILE as an argument in ADD operation, only the user given fields and fields filled by system will be provided as input to json file.

  • While creating users in AD via ADMP integration, the V3 API Field Name generated for default/additional fields is required for mapping the field values in the admp.xml file. For mapping additional fields, the following format must be followed: ${{udf_fields.[API-Field-Name]}}. For example, an additional field with API Field Name as udf_sline_001 must be mapped as ${{udf_fields.udf_sline_001}}

  • While mapping user fields in JIRA integration, the default and additional fields are now mapped via V3 API Field Name in jira.xml file.

Enterprise Service Management (ESM)

After upgrading to ServiceDesk Plus version 11, you can implement enterprise service management (ESM) in your organization.

ESM enables you to bring ITSM-like help desk service to other business functions in your organization. Each business function can have a dedicated service desk instance with templates, categories, and configurations specific to that function. For example, you can have a template to request for new hire orientation under HR and request for air conditioner service under Facilities.

Before you can create these service desk instances, you need to configure the ESM Directory, which will now be the central repository of all organizational data, including user information, service desk instances, and user association to these instances.

All users can log on to the ESM Portal to access service desks to submit specific issues. User permissions to instances are configured in the ESM Directory. You can configure the application with a single service desk instance or with multiple instances.

The following table lists module-wise differences between single instance and multiple instances under enterprise service management.

New Features

  • SDF-70860 : Request Life Cycle (RLC)

That is, only authorized technicians will be able to work on specific transitions.
