The following sections describe the new features and enhancements in Micro Focus Service Desk 7.2:

1.1 Rebranding

Micro Focus Service Desk now has a new look with options to customize as per your requirements such as the logo, colors, and icons. For a video demonstration, see Rebranding and Customizing.

1.2 New Features

1.2.1 Technician/Admin Portal

An option is provided to create generic requests from any page. This enables technicians to handle multiple customers issues from different channels.

Service Desk has a new system of color coding to quickly identify incidents, and other requests based on priority, without using filters to sort the incoming tickets. This will help to identify and address customer issues quickly and efficiently.

1.2.2 Item Reconciliation

Now you can select any field of choice as the reconciliation field to identify unique items and thus improve on the ZENworks import capabilities that were provided in the earlier releases.

1.2.3 KeyShield SSO

The KeyShield SSO feature is now fully integrated into Micro Focus Service Desk, this feature provides a single sign-on mechanism, and works with other Micro Focus products such as Filr, GroupWise, and Vibe. For more information, see KeyShield SSO.

1.2.4 Telemetry

Telemetry enables Micro Focus to collect statistical data about your usage of Micro Focus Service Desk. This data will enable us to make the right decisions to ensure that you have the best possible experience with Service Desk. For more information, see Telemetry.
