Thanks for the confirmation and feedback!

David
Just to clarify, there are two considerations.

1.      Related activity log visibility between application requests and
approval records
2.      The 'request more information' functionality is not complete or
intuitive. Consider adding:

a.      A 'Request More Information' button in Approval Central that opens a
dialog box
b.      Workflow to update the 'Needs Attention' count in the Service
Request Console to reflect that an approver has requested a response or
posted a comment. The search for the 'Needs Attention' link would also need
to be updated.

Cheers
Pete

Hi Tony,

 

Yes, we are aware of this issue, it's actually an ITSM-wide issue, and a
backlog has been created to rectify this in a future release.

 

Thanks,

David

Pete -

 

I am not aware of any OOTB functionality which ties Approval Central
questions/comments with SRM Activity Logs or vice versa.  Similar
limitations exist within the integration between Change Management, and
Approval Central.  (You will find there is nowhere on the CRQ to see
questions or comments posed by approvers.)  If someone can correct me in
this assumption, by all means do. It seems like a whopper of a missed
requirement in the apps.

 

My suggestion would be to create some workflow which pushes data around
between the two subsystems.

 

Tony

 If a user creates a service request and creates an Activity Log entry the
entry is not visible to the approver in Approval Central. The second issue
is that the activity log issue breaks the ability for the approver to
request more information before assigning an approval status. Activity logs
created by the approver in Approval Central are not visible to the service
request submitter. It's interesting that the activity logs are stored in
SRM:WorkInfo for service requests and activity logs for approvals are stored
in AP:Question-Comment-Info.
