Insights & updates from our experts
After last week’s updates to the main page of the Service Desk console, the underlying pages have also received a makeover. The support domains, services, configuration items and other items that can be selected are now presented as cards.

In the previews of the person records, it is now clearly indicated if that person is currently ‘Out of office‘.

Similarly, the person previews now include an indication whether the current time for that person is outside work hours.


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.
