Happy Friday! I'm working on revamping the SRM form I built for on-boarding and am in the process of converting it to an Advanced Interface Form to make it even cooler. In the current implementation, I have drop-down menus to select whether you want a desktop or laptop, a few hardcoded checkboxes for specific applications, etc. Now that I'm looking into it, it seems like I can leverage SRM 8.1's capabilities to do product ordering in a data-driven manner that should allow for all sorts of cool stuff. I've read through the documentation and set up a few test products in my development environment (generally PCs, GPS, and software for now.)
Where I'd like some guidance is if any of you all are currently using this functionality, and if so, what pitfalls you may have encountered. I haven't begun to dig too deeply yet but I'm starting to get the opinion from what I have seen that I may want to wait for a future version, especially since we're at the beginning of a project to redefine how we do asset management. Should I go down this path? What things have to be in place to do this effectively? What steps would be required to build my own AIF that successfully sends data to a PDT that can internally call the out of the box product ordering PDT so I can use that instead of simply creating CRQs for handling hardware and software deployments? I want to look into this and future-proof my SRM form as much as possible. However, I have to produce a better version of the on-boarding form pretty soon, so I may just do a custom form to store records that kind of fakes what the Product Ordering Console does so I can quickly come out with something that can be replaced later on when the Asset management project is done. Any advice on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks, Shawn Pierson Remedy Developer | Energy Transfer Private and confidential as detailed here: http://www.energytransfer.com/mail_disclaimer.aspx .
