The overview form, shows you the most important information about a service category, at a glance.
To obtain an overview of a service category
In the Manager, select the IT Shop > Basic configuration data > Service categories category.
- OR -
In the Manager, select the IT Shop > Service catalog category.
Select the service category in the result list.
Select the Service category overview task.
Requests can be given additional information though product-specific request properties such as the specific details of a product, its size, or color. A request property gathers all additional features together that can be given when requesting a product.
Define a request parameter for each feature of a request property. Parameters can be marked as mandatory if a value must be entered when they are requested.
To be able to use request properties, you assign them to service items or service categories. When a product is requested, the parameters of this request property are displayed. If a service item does not have a request property assigned to it, the service category's request property is used. If a service category does not have a request property assigned to it, the parent service category's request property applies.
NOTE: The definition of request properties was redesigned with One Identity Manager version 8.2. Now you can define a lot of additional information for request parameters. This makes the implementation of request properties more flexible. The previous solution can still be used. When you add a new request property, you specify whether you want to use the obsolete or the new style definition.
To add a request property

Enter the name and a description for the request property.
Leave the Obsolete definition option disabled. After saving, the option cannot be changed again.

Obsolete definition |
Specifies whether an obsolete definition is used for the request parameter. This information cannot be changed after a new request property has been saved. |
Request parameters with the current definition are saved in the DialogParameter table. All a request property's parameters are grouped together internally as a parameter set (DialogParameterSet). The parameter settings defined in the Manager are saved as default parameters. During the request, fixed parameter values can be entered in the Web Portal. These values are saved per request in parameter subsets. If the request has not entered a value, the parameter value from the default parameter set is used.
IMPORTANT: If the parameter settings in the default parameter set are changed and, as long as the requester has not entered their own values, the changes are passed on to all the requests in the shopping cart that use this parameter set.
NOTE: The Inherited value can be selected for various parameter settings. This does not affect request parameters. The parameter settings' default values apply that are shown next to the input fields.
There are three tabs for editing the parameter settings, the value definition, and scripts for calculating the values. The actual parameter values are shown next to the fields and menus.
