Submit a general workplace service request for issues that need a human response.
Request help for issues that are not covered by current automated workflows.

## Before you begin

Important:  
Starting with Workplace Core (sn_wsd_core) version 2.1, all updates, and new features are available only on the Workplace Service Portal. The workplace services provided by ServiceNow® are removed from the Service Portal on Workplace Core (sn_wsd_core) beginning with version 2.1. To configure the Workplace service catalog in the Service Portal, see [Configure a catalog in
Service Portal](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=associate-portal-catalog&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).

Role required: sn_wsd_core.workplace_user
