Replace scattered emails with structured requests, appropriate approvals and visible fulfillment steps.
Recommended structure
- IntroductionReplace scattered emails with structured requests, appropriate approvals and visible fulfillment steps.
- Ask for the information you needA service catalog lets employees request defined services such as a laptop or software access. Keep forms focused. Explain eligibility, expected steps and approvals so users know what happens after submission.
- Example: employee onboardingA manager submits one onboarding request. The workflow checks details, requests approval and creates tasks for relevant teams. Track device preparation and account access separately so a delayed step stays visible.
- Clarify rules before automationDefine approvers, rejection handling and exceptions. Use supported platform automation and APIs for external systems. Test cancellation and partial failure, such as an approved request whose account creation fails.
- ConclusionA good catalog combines a simple form, clear ownership and traceable tasks.
