Relations Removed from Removed CIs

From now on, when the status of a configuration item is set to ‘Removed’, its service, service instance, CI and user relations are automatically removed. Apart from helping to keep the CMDB relations accurate, this ensures that removed configuration items (i.e. CIs for which the support organization no longer has any responsibility) no longer show […]

So Long, IE7

It is time for us to say goodbye to Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. As of September 01, 2015, end users will no longer be able to use the IE7 browser to access 4me Self Service. Terminating support for IE7 will make it possible to offer end users a more modern experience on their PCs, similar […]

Superior Tablet Support

Many specialists have already been using 4me on their tablets. They will be happy to see how the 4me user interface now automatically optimizes itself for use on smaller touch screens. On a tablet there is not enough room to show a view on the left side of the screen with the selected record on […]

There are quite a few places in 4me where it is possible to relate multiple records of the same type to another record. For example, an approval task may need to be assigned to several approvers, an SLA can cover any number of organizations, and a request can be submitted for more than one configuration […]

99.996%

Looking back at 2014, we can only conclude that it was another stellar year for the 4me service. One vital accomplishment was last year’s overall availability of 99.996%. There were 3 short outages with a total outage duration of 20 minutes. This highlights the resilience and self-healing ability of the service’s infrastructure. Also impressive are […]

Reducing Administrative Overhead

Wherever we can, we try to minimize the amount of administration required from support specialists. We don’t just do that to make the support specialists happy, though. It saves organizations real money when their people can work more efficiently. Recently we found a way to make it a little easier to complete requests of the […]
