BMC Service Request Management 9.1

All versions
The BMC Service Request Management application enables an IT department and other business departments to easily define available services, publish those services in a service catalog, and automate fulfillment of those services for the user community, enabling users to help themselves. Service Request Management runs on the Remedy Action Request System ( Remedy AR System) platform and consumes data from the BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database (BMC Atrium CMDB). Service Request Management works with other applications, such as Remedy Incident Management and Remedy Change Management, to resolve user requests. Service Request Management manages the entire process, from submission to completion.

If this topic does not exist for a given product release, no urgent issues have been discovered for that release.

 Is all the content for BMC Service Request Management 9.1 in this space?

Yes, all of the documentation for BMC Service Request Management 9.1 is in this space. Links to documentation for related products are found in Additional resources from BMC.

 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.

To export to PDF or Word

  1. From the Tools menu in the upper-right, select a format:
    • Export to Word to export the current page to Word format
    • Export to PDF to export the current page or a set of pages to PDF
  2. If exporting to PDF, select what template you want to use:
    • Simple to export a lightweight PDF with no cover, table of contents, or index.
      By default, the Simple template only exports the current page.
    • Standard to export a traditional PDF with a cover, table of contents, and index.
      By default, the Standard template exports the current page and all child pages.


 

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.

      Hello Jerome,

      Thank you for your comment. We have a separate section for Incident Management in the Service Desk Wiki space.

      For Incident Management Console, see Incident Management Console and for managing incident requests, see Managing Incident Request. 

      Thanks and regards,
