About Accessing Service Manager from Mobile Devices

There are three ways to use Service Manager with a mobile device:

•You can view Service Manager on mobile devices through a browser. All user functions operate the same as on a desktop browser. We recommend using as large a screen as possible; therefore, a tablet is more practical than a smart phone for using Service Manager in this way.

•A second option for viewing Service Manager on a mobile device is to use a browser using the Self Service Mobile role which has a device-enabled responsive view of Service Manager. For information about the role, the interface, and any limitations when using this option, see Self Service Mobile Portal.

•The third option is to use Service Manager through the Service Manager Mobile Client app for iPads and iPhones. You can download the Service Manager Mobile Client app for free from the Apple app store. With the Service Manager Mobile Client app, you can view relevant records such as incidents, task assignments, employees, and change approval requests.

4.Click a record to view its details.

5.Filter the number of records to view. Click the Filter icon in the upper right corner, then select the filters.

Creating Records in the Mobile Client App

By default, forms on a mobile device are read-only. However, administrators can give users the right to add new records.

1.Log into the Service Manager Mobile Client app.

2.Select a role.

If your role has permission to create new records, the application displays a plus + sign on the header. If there is no plus + sign, your role does not have permission to create new records.

Editing Forms in the Mobile Client App

By default, forms on a mobile device are read-only. However, administrators can assign edit access to designated roles. If your role has edit permissions, you see an Edit button. You can then modify data in the following:

•Validated fields (including constrained lists)

•Date fields

•Text fields

•Numeric fields

•Boolean/bit fields

Using Quick Actions in the Mobile Client App

You can use quick actions related to the business object on the Service Manager Mobile Client app by clicking Quick Action in the bottom right corner of the screen.

About Saving Records in the Mobile Client App

After saving a record, the application calculates the required fields. The business object state may affect the required condition of a field. All required fields must contain a valid entry, or the application displays an error message and aborts the operation. When the validation occurs, the business object data is passed to the server.

Sending Emails through the Mobile Client App

Follow these steps to send an email from within the Service Manager Mobile Client app:

1.While in a record, click Email. The email window appears.

2.Send the email as you would normally.
