Product Updates
Waiting Until
Sometimes you are not able to continue your work on a request, for example, because you are waiting for spare parts. In such cases, you set the status of the request to ‘Waiting for…’ and add a note to indicate what you are waiting for. What’s new is that, as soon as you have selected […]
Add Custom Fields to the Organization Form
You could already use UI extensions to add fields to requests, changes and configuration items. Now you can use the same functionality to add fields to your organizations.

A New CTI Capability
Many larger service desks or call centers use an automatic call distributor (ACD) that collects some information from callers before assigning their call to an available service desk analyst. A caller could, for example, be asked to enter his/her account, customer or employee number. When the Support ID field of the Person records is populated with […]

The requests can be opened directly from their approval tasks in 4me Mobile or 4me Self Service. The requests can also be opened using the hyperlinks in the Change Summary PDF file that is […]
