Visible updates for self-service requests

When a self-service user makes an update to an open request, the user can view the update text in the History section of the interaction record. When a HPE Service Manager operator views the same record, the Activities section has three subsections that relate to updates.

  • Record new activities on the Updates section
  • View journal entries on the Journal Updates section when the administrator enables Journal Updates in the Environment record
  • View the updates in the list of updates for an activity type

When the operator makes an update to an open self-service request, Service Desk hides the update text from the self-service user. To show the update text to the self-service user, the operator must select the Visible to Customer check box in the Activities section of the interaction form.
