Reviewing the status of service requests

In BMC Digital Workplace Catalog, service catalog administrators, service agents, internal service suppliers, and internal service supplier administrators can check the status of self-service requests.

To ensure that the system is fulfilling services correctly, check the status of self-service requests on the Service Requests page. You can filter service requests, and export the data to a CSV file for further analysis.

To verify request details

1. To access service requests, go to Reports > Service Requests in BMC Digital Workplace Catalog.
   As a service agent, you have access only to the Service Requests page.
2. To see details of a service request, double-click the table item (or select the item and then select Actions > Details).
   The Request Details panel displays the request details overview, responses to questions, survey rating, comments on a survey that has a rating, and error details a service request failed.
   
   
   

If the service was originally created from an imported SRD from Remedy Service Request Management, you can see the Remedy Service Request Management request ID given to the end user. The end user can search BMC Digital Workplace using a given ID. Because this ID is from Remedy Service Request Management, a service agent or IT Administrator can search Smart IT or Remedy Service Request Management using this ID.

To troubleshoot failed requests

When BMC Digital Workplace Catalog cannot fulfill a request, the system returns a Fault status to the end user in the BMC Digital Workplace end user console. The system also reports the failed request on the Service Requests page in BMC Digital Workplace Catalog. Double-click the failed request line to view the relevant section of the error log . You can also export the single request as a CSV file, to send to your IT help desk to investigate with BMC Support.

To view the request process

When a process is completed, or if a process is paused, you can open the workflow and view the process to see where it may be waiting for a response.

The following illustration shows an example of a process workflow.
