Service Management (SM) refers to the ServiceNow service management applications you install, such as Facilities Service Management. Each of these applications allow you to manage business functions that require a request-type workflow where
requests are approved, qualified, assigned, and completed.
* **[Activate Service Management](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/DKz13zyh6hRL1h8Tl6DDag)**   
  The Service Management Core plugin is activated automatically when you activate any service management application.
* **[Service management states](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lH_qZ4gazVf0IXvq~hlrmA)**   
  From creation until closure, SM application requests for work (for example, work orders and facilities requests), and their respective tasks follow a life cycle tracked by the State field in Field Service Management and Facilities Service Management.
* **[Service Management Core installation reference](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Fy6_xAapIHwBA13RIByDcQ)**   
  Service Management Core includes several feature plugins. Each of these plugins installs several types of components in support of the service management process.
* **[Planned Maintenance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NCClcbaMU7yMpI~6oaVzUw)**   
  The Planned Maintenance application is not a Service Management application, but it works with Service Management applications to help organizations manage regular preventive maintenance of assets.
* **[Facilities Service Management](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kurr7DrOEHyORkWbnlMyyg)**   
  With the ServiceNow® Facilities Service Management application, you can request changes to the operation and maintenance of your facilities, track these requests, and make the necessary changes.
* **[Request Management in a Service Management application](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Jz~cvEIWI8d~2p5MZnvCKw)**   
  Agents regularly access request records as they resolve requests and correspond with the submitters. They can also access built-in reports to see information like the number of active or unassigned requests for an SM application.
