CSM provides Submit On Behalf Of functionality as a mApp Solution so Users can easily incorporate on behalf of submissions into their existing CSM 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 wizard generates a Blueprint, which can then be viewed and published to a test or live system to commit the changes.

Apply the mApp Solution and select the Open a Blueprint so that I can preview the changes option. Before publishing the Blueprint, configure the mApp Solution.
