@Sushant Koshy thanks for this and the EAP - looks good so far. Where is the documentation on this as it is under the EAP? I created a new test help desk and all the JSM projects appear under it. When I go to the Portal settings or Customer permissions I am not seeing the configuration or setting to state that project X is for Help Desk A?

I have also emailed you RE the permissions around this currently.

Thanks again. Already enjoying the potential this has.

OK I think I found the configuration @Sushant Koshy .  @Aaron Geister - This may help you (and others), if you click on the profile image on top right > Page layout and then on the tiles, click on the eye icon to show or hide on the project on the help desk.

I have submitted feedback but I have noticed that if a project is hidden in can be navigated to by changing the id in the URL bar (not ideal but would be great to hide and not have access to it on that portal) - though I understand this is in EAP

It would be nice to have a group/documentation link that we can subscribe to for new progress on this. Esp to see this to complete fruition and GA

Thank you

Will we have the ability to limit what request types are available on a help center in the future?

Hi @Sushant Koshy 

Is there any ETA on delivery of this functionality within the global realm?

Since we enrolled in the early access program, when a user navigates to requests, these are no longer filtered by default on "open requests". It is showing all requests, resolved and unresolved. The customer can still manually change the filter, but it was better when this was defaulted to unresolved only. The "created by me" filter is still applied as default.

This is basic feature if you want user use one site available for customer and internal employees like ITSM or ESM together. We should be able to have multiple help center easily

Is there a timeline for when this feature will be generally available? As our Org grows into JSM this is going to be a game changer!

Hello @Sushant Koshy  
If I add another Help Center, how can I categorize projects, for example I have 40 projects in our instance, I want 20 projects to be in one help center and other in second. I was not able to do this (Can I see documentation somewhere?)

Multiple Help Centers (HCs) are a lifesaver for us. This feature allows us to have Service Desk Portals in different Help Centers without purchasing a plugin to provide similar features and to minimize the number of portals in each HC, thereby making it easier for our users to get to the right portal quickly.

As part of our ITSM transformation from Request Tracker (RT) to Enterprise Service Management (ESM) using Jira Service Management (JSM), we have created three HCs to begin this transition. Currently, we have a test HC, an ITSM HC and a Production HC, where we are initially revising our current set of portals, and we are creating our initial set of Service Desks to replace the RT queues used by the rest of the company.

We plan to create up to 150 team Service Desk Portals and allocate these Portals to one of the HCs.

So far, this feature is working as we expected.

I am grateful that we are able to test and use this new feature and realize the value added to our ESC.

Eager for this feature to be GA.

@Danylo Borodai - This feature is only available in the cloud, and there are no plans to include it in DC.

I did successfully set up a new help center and defined which service projects should be visible there.

However I created a new service project after this and that project is default visible on the new help center (as well). Is it the planned functionality (or my environment does not work properly)? Imagine having a dozen help center and every time a new service project created you have to disable it at all help centers...

Would be better that all new service projects should be disabled by default for all help centers (though can be enabled the the default Help center).

Thank you for providing the EAP – it has been an invaluable tool for managing multiple projects with various customers.

I’ve recently created a new project and need one of my newly established help centers to serve as the landing page (Home Portal) for this specific project. Currently, all customers are being directed to the initial portal, even though I’ve hidden that particular project from it.

If any clarification is needed, I’m available to discuss this further on a call.

URL reflected in customer notifications

Very excited about the possibility. However, there is a large blocker that hinder us from using it. Even if you set the preferred helpdesk on user, in their notification - when they click View the request, they get to the request but within our default help center. 

Example:

Steps

  • Customer creates a request KEY-10
  • Customer gets customer notification with link to request
  • Customer clicks on link

Expected result

Actual result

 

A comment is that we also need possibility to set on JSM Project level but the above is more important.

I see that @Fungai Kudita is actually addressing the exact same challenge /ping @Sushant Koshy @Tori Stitt 

Most of us is using the JSM with mail notifications so I believe this will be a general hinder if not addressed.
