Service Desk workflows and user tasks

Every user contact with the Service Desk is logged in an interaction record. User Interaction Management is the process for handling all interactions with the service desk that are received from self-service webpages or directly by service desk personnel.

This process streamlines service desk activities, thereby decreasing the workload for second line support teams.

The User Interaction Management process consists of the following workflows and tasks:

ITIL Workflow	Tasks
Self-Service user interactions (SO0.1)	Request a service catalog item or bundle Create a self-service request Close a self-service request Resubmit a self-service request Update a self-service request View a self-service request
User interaction handling (SO0.2)	Register a complaint Register a request for change Register a service catalog request Register an incident Register a request for information Update an interaction record Cancel a new Service Desk interaction Reopen an incident
Interaction matching and escalation (SO0.3)
Interaction closure (SO0.4)	Close a first time resolved Service Desk interaction Close an existing Service Desk interaction

To view more workflow diagrams and other information about this process, refer to the HPE Service Manager Processes and Best Practices Guide that is linked to in the related topics.
