BMC Service Desk 9.1

All versions
BMC Service Desk uses automated, ITIL-compliant incident management and problem management processes to help IT organizations respond quickly and efficiently to conditions that disrupt critical services. The incident management process focuses on getting users up and running after disruptions. The problem management process focuses on determining the root cause of a problem, and on using the change management process to correct the root cause. BMC Service Desk provides a single point of contact for user requests, user submitted incidents, and infrastructure-generated incidents.

  I’d like a PDF of just selected information. How can I do that?

The BMC Documentation portal gives you the ability to generate PDF and Microsoft Word documents of single pages, and to create PDF exports of multiple pages in a space.  

Creating PDF and Word exports

You can create a PDF of a page or a set of pages. (Non-English page exports are not supported.) You can also create a Word document of the current page.

  1. From the Tools menu in the upper-right, select a format:
    • Export to Word to export the current page to Word format

  2. If exporting to PDF, select what you want to export:
    • Only this page to export the current page
    • This page and its children to export a set of pages
    For example, selecting This page and its children from the home page exports the entire space to PDF.

XML and HTML exports

If you require an export in XML or HTML format, contact us.

 

Depending on the number of topics included in the export, it might take several minutes to create the PDF. Once the export is complete, you can download the PDF.
