Creating Service Objects

The Service Management area allows you to track what the Service Orders and Service Agreements are related to through what a called Service Objects. A Service Object could be something that is tracked as in inventoried item, or it could just be a reference to something that is being serviced.

NOTE: This is part of the Configuring Service Management to track Service Orders blueprint series where we show how to configure Service Management to track service order details. If you want to see all of the other posts in this series, click here.
