About Service Portfolio Management

  • Use the added options to edit and manage your service portfolios.
    • Add life cycle fields to the taxonomy node records of your portfolios to align with the Common Service Data Model (CSDM).
    • Added more flexibility to remap taxonomy nodes. You can move an entire branch of a taxonomy from one portfolio to another, including the automatic move of its child nodes.
    • Reparent taxonomy nodes when you move them to a new location in a portfolio. You can also add a new taxonomy node in the middle of an existing portfolio, either between two nodes or between a node and a service.
  • Recognize the updated label for technical services.
