Service request plugin

This plugin extends Cumulocity application like Cockpit with the capability to create, update and manage service requests.

The UI Plugin is depending on the domain specific API provided by service-request-mgmt microservice: Open API documentation

This microservice can be extended or even replaced if needed. Custom microservices have to implement the REST API as documented above.

Requirements

This plugin requires a Microservice called Service-request-mgmt to be installed on the tenant. Repository: Standard cumulocity-microservice-service-request-mgmt

Create Service Request

Create Service Request screen

The service request can be created for an alarm as shown in the screenshot above or with out any context via (+) button "Create service request". The service request will be stored at Cumulocity. If the service request is created and a alarm status transition is configured the alarm status will change to the configured status, in that example the alarm changes to ACKNOWLEDGED.

Create Comment for Service Request

Create Comment for Service Request screen

There are SYSTEM comments and USER comments. SYSTEM comments reflect specific changes at the service request object and show the status history of it. USER comments can be created by any user which is allowded to create service requests. Service request comments are a very sufficient way to communicate with the field service technician in the device context.

Attachments

Add attachment screen

Each service request and each comment can have arbitrary files like pictures, excel documents etc. as attachment. This attachments allow the user to add additional information for the field service team.

How to start Change the target tenant and application you want to run this plugin on in the package.json.

c8ycli server -u https://{{your-tenant}}.cumulocity.com/ --shell {{cockpit}}

Keep in mind that this plugin needs to have an app (e.g. cockpit) running with at least the same version as this plugin. if your tenant contains an older version, use the c8ycli to create a cockpit clone running with at least v 1016.0.59! Upload this clone to the target tenant (e.g. cockpit-1016) and reference this name in the --shell command.

The widget plugin can be locally tested via the start script:

npm start

In the Module Federation terminology, widget plugin is called remote and the cokpit is called shell. Modules provided by this widget will be loaded by the cockpit application at the runtime. This plugin provides a basic custom widget that can be accessed through the Add widget menu.

Note that the --shell flag creates a proxy to the cockpit application and provides AdvancedMapWidgetModule as an remote via URL options.

Also deploying needs no special handling and can be simply done via npm run deploy. As soon as the application has exports it will be uploaded as a plugin.
