Email Attachments

When an email is sent from Service Manager, from the email menu or from a wizard, you can now systematically attach documents to the email sent. Previously only some of the email screens supported email attachment. 

When these emails are sent on an incident, a request or an action, the email attachments are also stored as documents on the Documents tab of the incident or request. 

Email Templates

Email templates support attachments. Documents manually added to an email are stored on the request. Documents attached to a template are sent with the email but are not stored against the ticket.  

Note

The documents attached to emails and stored against an incident or a request are public.

CMDB Display Beta 2

The CMDB Graph has been totally rewritten. It is available in parallel with the standard release. This is the second release and it integrates some of the feedback provided by customers on the first beta. 

     New CMDB graph.png

  • To display graphs with this new release, add &cmdbjs=true to the URL.
  • A new feature authorizes the generation of a .PNG image based on the current display. This is another way to create a baseline of the CMDB.
