1. Request Creation

Request creation is known as submitting requests in SBM. The primary actors responsible for submitting requests are employees, customers, and IT service desk staff.

Employees and customers can submit their requests using the Request Center or the SBM User Workspace. The following example describes submitting a request using Request Center.

Important: The following procedure assumes that there is a configured service request called New Hire Request under the Employee Services service request category. New Hire Request is included with the Serena Starter Pack Service Requests. You must promote ALL of the SRC snapshots before logging in to Request Center for the sample data to be available.

To create a new request using Request Center:

  1. Log in to Request Center: http://serverName/tmtrack/tmtrack.dll?shell=srp.
  2. Select the Employee Services service request category on the Catalog tab.
  3. Click the New Hire Request service request to open the submit request form. Note that you must click on the title.
  4. Complete the wizard submit form.
  5. Click OK to create the new request.
