Priority, Impact, and Urgency identification

Priority, impact, and urgency indicators can be assigned automatically or manually to fulfill Service Catalog requests.

Impact is based on the scope of users impacted – the wider the users impacted the higher the impact. Urgency is based on the user input. HPE Service Manager automatically calculates the value for Priority based on the values specified for impact and urgency.

When the Service Catalog request is sent for fulfillment, however, the corresponding fulfillment modules can reevaluate the impact according to its own rules (for example, a change request, incident, or request record).
