Mobile experience

Fast and efficient ticket logging

Smart IT provides a single interface to create multiple ticket types such as incidents, work orders, change requests, or service requests. Ticket creation is faster with a limited number of required field values, because of the following features:

Automatic creation of a ticket as you take notes during a customer call
The Smart Recorder enables you to take notes while talking to your customers. You can add the customer name, contact name, and affected assets by using special indicators in Smart Recorder, and the system provides a list of available options as you type your notes. Based on keywords in your notes, Smart IT starts to create the ticket in the background. After you finish taking your notes, you can create the ticket with the click of a single button.

Easy identification of users, related assets and incidents, and available templates while creating tickets
When you take your notes while talking to a customer, use special characters, and Smart Recorder displays a list of customers or assets available in the system. You can select the appropriate customer or asset as you type, and these details are automatically displayed in the ticket that is created. Based on keywords in your notes, Smart Recorder displays a list of available templates to use when creating the ticket.

Information for quick ticket resolution

When you take notes in Smart Recorder, Smart IT uses keywords to display resources that you can use to resolve the ticket, such as a list of related knowledge articles.

Easy collaboration and knowledge sharing

Smart IT provides a chat application that enables you to communicate with other members of your team to get help or provide help in resolving a ticket. Create knowledge efficiently and collaboratively as part of the support role. When agents use Smart Recorder to record tickets, the system automatically searches for knowledge articles, making it easier for agents to use knowledge articles.

Mobile experience

Smart IT is available on mobile devices. The mobile applications have most of the same capabilities as the web interface, and also include a few mobile-optimized features for scanning and receiving assets.
