Service Types List View Interface
A service manager is a tool used to manage and streamline an organisation’s service management processes. It helps organisations automate and track service requests, incidents, queries, changes, and problems. It includes features for ticketing, management, and reporting. It aims to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and ensure a higher level of service quality by enabling organisations to manage, prioritise, and resolve issues effectively.
The Service Manager in BOS can also be used to track and follow up on leads and to manage Projects.
A Service Type defines the interface for service tickets. Organisations may have an unlimited number of Service Types.
Navigation: Main Menu > Setup > Service Types
A Service Type refers to the process that is managed using the service manager (e.g. Accounts, Projects, Customer Support, Sales).
Once created, the Service Type must be added to a menu so that tickets can be created and displayed.
User Access must be set for each Service Type separately.
