Service Descriptions

The HPE Service Manager Service Catalog provides a user interface that allows the Catalog Manager to create and publish a comprehensive list of services available to the business user.

Within each catalog item, the Service Catalog collects information for a service, including such details as service descriptions, categorization, costs, access rights, service request approval rules, delivery and support service levels, and custom options. The out-of-box definitions can be used as templates to start defining the specific services supported in an enterprise. In addition, new services can easily be defined through a web-based, wizard-guided process.

The service offering description can be made as detailed as desired, from a simple text description, to a more detailed rich-text description, to attaching documents to the catalog item.

The Service Catalog lets the catalog manager define the service’s base price, which can be a onetime cost, a recurring cost, or both.

The Catalog Manager can also:

Expose service options, which, when selected, can affect the price of subscribing to the service (for example, it is possible to describe access to optional modules of an application, or an optional data plan to a cell phone service).
Expose optional service levels.
Restrict access to business users based on their role.

Finally, the management user interface also allows Catalog Managers to duplicate existing services, thereby facilitating the creation of new catalog items.

After a service is defined, its details can be exposed to end users browsing or requesting services on the corporate intranet. For example, an email service may list available options, costs, and service levels.
