Request Catalog

This article details how an Analyst or Self Service User (SSU) can use the Request catalog workspace to select a template from the list of pre-defined service catalogs and use the same to create tickets in ISM.

A tenant administrator can create as many Service Catalogs as required to enable their users to create and manage their tickets effectively. For a User, it is difficult to browse through all catalogs available in the system. The Request Catalog workspace allows the end-user to find the desired Service Catalog and quickly create and submit a ticket. This helps users to manage their requests more efficiently.

Administrators can add Classifications to the service catalogs available in the system. For more information on adding classifications, please refer to Create and Manage Catalog Items.
