    About this task

    After a change in workflow Proactive Service Experience Workflows is triggered, you can identify the customers and systems that are affected by the change request. You can then either automatically create the individual cases for the impacted customers or notify your customers about the outages.

    Procedure

    1. In Service Operations Workspace, navigate to List > Changes > Open and select a change record.
    2. Optional: In an existing change record, assign the change request to a support engineer.
    3. Expand the Scope and impact section and select the Affected CIs card.
    4. See which services are impacted by selecting the Impacted Services/CIs card and then selecting Refresh Impacted Services.

      The instance initiates an action to refresh the impacted services and to find the affected accounts.

    5. See the list of outages by selecting the Outages card.
    6. See which accounts are affected in the Customer impact tab.
    7. See which consumers have been affected in the Customer impact tab.
    8. In the Details section, change the state of the Change record to Authorize.
      The cases for the affected customers are automatically created.
    9. When the change manager authorizes the change record and the status changes to Scheduled, you can update the state by selecting Implement, selecting Review, and then saving the record.
    10. Select the resolution code from the drop-down list, enter the resolution notes before closing the change request, and update the state by selecting Close.
