    • Combine Workplace Service Delivery services with Universal Request so that you can provide a convenient workplace experience to your employees. Provide a common help desk so that your employees can submit requests that are related to their workplace without having to search the Workplace services catalog.

    The integration with Universal Request enables an employee to submit a general inquiry for any workplace-related issue. An employee can get support by selecting a single-help option for services that are not included in the catalog.

    For more information about a Universal Request, see Universal Request.

    Universal Request and workplace cases

    When employees cannot find a workplace service that is suitable to their issue on the Workplace Service Portal, they can select the Request help option. The following actions are performed when an employee selects Request help:
    1. The option navigates the employee to a help form where the employee can specify any issue details. This help request triggers a Universal Request.
    2. The Universal Request is assigned to a routing agent. The agent analyzes the request as a workplace-related query and creates a workplace case.
    3. The workplace manager handles the workplace case and changes the state of the case depending on the progress.
    4. The Universal Request is then closed only when the employee accepts the resolution.

    As a workplace manager, you can transfer a workplace case that was created by Universal Request back to the Universal Request queue if it does not relate to workplace services.

    Employees can view the details related to their Universal Request anytime.
