Service Catalog Request Status

The requester is able to use the same web application to monitor the Service Catalog request status.

He or she can simply look at the list of open Service Catalog requests and follow the progression of the Service Catalog request through its lifecycle. The status is displayed in the list.

It is possible to gain more insight into what is happening during those phases. The requester has the ability to monitor the pending approvals, or to view the approvals that have already been granted.

Thus they know who might be holding up their Service Catalog request during the approval phase.

When the Service Catalog request is approved, the user has, in some cases, the ability to follow the progression of the Service Catalog request through fulfillment in greater details. From the request details screen, the user can click on the View Related Records link. For example, for a Service Catalog request that is being fulfilled through a change request, it is possible to follow the lifecycle of the change request.
