How often does this happen: you create a custom list in the Cireson Portal for SCSM, but you can’t find it when you create a Request Offering? It’s a simple but common issue, one we covered recently in an Open Floor session.
Community Open Floor: Covering Configuration Item Classes
In the following video, we discuss where the disconnect occurs. We also walked through the process to use a custom Configuration Item class in the portal, including defining a custom portal form for editing and creating the Configuration Item.
Here’s one thing we learned—a common mistake: when there isn’t a property present on a Work Item class, there isn’t way to store or find the custom list you’ve created. If you haven’t created a property you’re left hanging, with no way to bind the list. So, you want to make the distinction between the list property and a list.
Cireson Senior Support Engineer Justin Workman walked us through how to do this and more. You can follow the entire process or catch steps along with way:
- Intro to custom class 00:20
- Define a view and sync class 04:00
- Add OData table widget to view 07:12
- Question: Permission controls on editing CI? 11:34
- Form definitions/setup 12:40
- Binding enum (lists) to form field 19:50
- Creating New Dynamic data in the Portal 22:40
- Adding values to list type (in console) 28:27
- Bringing in a custom relationship (using projection builder) 30:21
