Search for Specific Record Types in Self Service
Click To Explore
When someone performs a search is Self Service, the search looks through all the records that this person has access to in Self Service. That means that the search results may include this person’s requests, approval tasks, services, etc. But if this person only wants to look through the knowledge base, or look for a specific request template, these other records can make it harder to find the right item.
That is why the Search functionality in Self Service now provides the ability to look only for a specific type of record. To find a specific knowledge article, for example, enter a search phrase, press the Search button to go to the search results page, and then press the Refine Search button (the one with the little cog). That reveals all the new search options. After checking the Knowledge Articles box, the search results are automatically refreshed.

A Note From the Road: What SPARK Taught Me About Time
During the second SPARK event in Antwerp, I stood at the back of a training room and watched a customer build a custom integration with our new iPaaS, wiring Xurrent to another system in her stack that had never talked to it before. No services rep doing it for her. No statement of work, no project plan with a kickoff and a go-live date. Just a person with live beta access in her hands, connecting two systems by hand, and finishing it before her coffee went cold. A year ago that would have been a multi-week project with a budget attached. She looked up, a little surprised it had actually worked, and said something I have not stopped thinking about since. She said it just gave her her week back.
