Overview

The Walk-Up Support mApp Solution enables your IT organization to handle customer requests directly from a physical walk-up support location. Customers can approach your walk-up support locations and instantly obtain support for basic issues.

Walk-up support is a concierge-style of technical support where a customer can walk up to a desk or kiosk to get in-person, real-time support. Customers can check in and provide a short description of their issue. They enter a queue and are called on as support specialists become available. The support specialist resolves the problem, provides the customer with information on how to resolve, or escalates the ticket.

How the mApp Solution Works

CSM provides Walk-Up Support as a mApp Solution so that users can easily incorporate real-time remote support sessions into their existing system. Download the mApp Solution from the Cherwell mApp Exchange. Use the Apply mApp wizard to apply the mApp Solution to your CSM system. The Apply mApp Solution wizard generates a Blueprint, which can then be viewed and published to a test or live system to commit the changes.

For a list of items included in the mApp Solution, see Walk-Up Support mApp Solution Items.
