We have multiple workspaces and Service Catalogs in each.  Is there a “link” to only the catalog items for a single Workspace?  If not, how do we reorder Catalog items from multiple workspaces in the customer portal - I only see how to do this inside each workspace.

There are no option to do that. They have been talking about a update for service items/portal what exact will come in the update I don’t know.

I REALLY hope it includes this capability - having to weed through services for IT, Communications, Engineering, HR, PMO, and Invoicing all in one location is frustrating for the end-user.

The Service Catalog interface really needs a major overhaul. It seems to randomly add Service Catalog Categories to the request portal. I tried labeling the Categories as “IT-...” and “HR-...” and such, but there is still no way to order them in any way that makes much sense to the Agent or the Requester. This has become a major roadblock with our company rolling out some new Workspaces, so I’m hoping for a swift response from Freshworks. There was at least one active thread in the Ideas forum for this, but I don’t see it anymore.

you can write a custom java to do what your talking about.  The update has to be done in the HEAD in service desk rebranding.  I just did this last week.  Here is what it looks like now.

 

Service software etc.
Only listing those items
SAP Only
SAP only options - removes all the other categories

Hey! 

I have embedded some code into our freshservice portal so it is now headed up by workspace name (as below) allowing us to have sub-categories.

Let me know if you need this code and I will DM it to you.

 

Thanks,

Matt

I sent you my email address, this would be a major help for our users. We’re getting a lot of hesitancy to adopt Freshservice because of how badly the Service Catalog is laid out and our inability to do anything about it at the moment. Huge thanks!

@mattpayneRJ do you mind sending it to me as well, I would like to see your solution versus ours, I think they are completely different in how they work, so I would enjoy learning from it.

Cannot thank you enough!!! This worked out exactly as I had expected! I’m happy, my boss will be happy, our users will be very happy. Thank you so much! Do you mind if I share this around?

 

And Freshservice should adopt this as standard going forward!!!
