(Optional) Provide support using Smart Search

If your enterprise owns an HPE Smart Analytics license and your HPE Service Manager system administrator has set up Smart Analytics, you can use Smart Search to search across Service Manager Service Catalogs and Knowledge Management (KM) documents while providing support to end users.

Follow these steps to provide support using Smart Search:

  1. Click the Search button on the top-right corner of the Service Manager UI. The Smart Search window opens.
  2. Type the key words or phrases you want to search for. Service Manager displays a list of KM documents and Service Catalog items matching your search request when you are typing. If no result is displayed, type a new search string for your search.

    Alternatively, you can simply highlight the keywords in the end user’s chat message and then click the automatically appeared magnifier icon to start a Smart Search. Refer to the following screenshot as an example:

  3. Click Share to send the link of a KM document or a Service Catalog item to the end user.

    Note The system displays a notification in the conversation window when the following scenarios occur:

    • The end user is not authorized to access a KM document or a Service Catalog item.
    • The end user did not receive the shared link.

    Note The Share function does not work well when a Service Desk agent is sending a link to a Skype user. The shared link becomes messy code in the Skype conversation window.
