    Create standard change request overview

    The Create standard change request agentic workflow assists users in creating change requests quickly and efficiently. On initiation, the workflow prompts users to select the specific type of change they want to request - standard, normal, or emergency.
    • If the user selects standard, they’re prompted to provide additional information about the change request. On receiving this information, the workflow first retrieves historical template data from previous change requests. It analyzes the data, and recommends suitable templates that closely match the user’s current scenario. The workflow also generates direct links for users to create change records based on the suggested templates.
    • If the user selects normal or emergency, the workflow directly generates a link for users to create a normal or emergency change request record.
    To access the agentic workflow:
    1. Navigate to All > AI Agent Studio > Create and manage.
    2. Select Create standard change request.
    Note:
    The workflow can be accessed by the sn_change_write and itil role.

    To modify the Create standard change request agentic workflow, duplicate it, and adjust the settings according to your requirements. The Create standard change request agentic workflow doesn’t have a trigger and is invoked manually.
