Service Desk Orginization

Hi @jbass007 - I found this amazingly helpful and VERY old article.  I use the OG portal layout, btw.

https://support.freshservice.com/en/support/discussions/topics/308039/page/2?url_locale=en

It allowed me to create a completely custom list of Service Items and Solutions to show on the main page of my FS portal.

Just update with your own URLs and names and away you go!

** quick warning - I found that URLs for Solution articles must have the full name in the path as here not just the article number in the URL in order for Contacts to be able to open the page from Home.

HTH!

And, IIRC, to tidy up which Service Items display to my fellow staff, I created a new Contact Group with 0 members and then planned to set all the Service Items that were part of Onboarding to only display for this Contact Group.

I have a vague recollection that there is a way to set the folder that will open when a Contact goes to the Services tab. But I can’t quite find it now.

Ok - I remember now -- you have to add the folder ID number to the path - but consider whether everyone can access this folder

Layout & pages > Portal Pages > Portal Home

hmm not sure why I didn’t comment out the other line - LMAO!

Thank you all for the quick replies! I will reach out to the support team and let you all know!
