Self-Service Portal
Overview
The Self-Service Portal at My Workplace (/mein-arbeitsplatz) is the personal landing page for every authenticated user. It surfaces the three most common work areas on a single page:
- My Assets — every asset currently assigned to the user
- Open Tickets — ITSM tickets the user has reported
- Active Processes — in-progress asset movements that involve the user's assets
On top of these summaries, five Quick Actions give users a fast start into new work items directly from the portal.
Quick Actions
Above the three summary sections the portal offers five shortcuts:
| Action | Target |
|---|---|
| New request | Guided form that creates a new request ticket |
| Service catalog | Card grid of all available request categories |
| Report an issue | Jump straight into ticket creation |
| My devices | Asset list filtered to the user's own assignments |
| Active processes | Movement overview |
Visibility depends on permissions and the active ITSM licence of the tenant.
Service Catalog
At /mein-arbeitsplatz/katalog users find a catalog of predefined request categories:
- Hardware request — order a device, accessory, or replacement
- Software request — request a licence or software install
- Access request — request access to a system, folder, or application
- Report a problem — report a defect or malfunction (filed as an incident)
- Training request — request onboarding or training
- Other — anything that does not fit another category
Each card is a deep-link into the request form with the type pre-selected (?type=<key>).
New Request Form
The form at /mein-arbeitsplatz/anfrage captures:
- Request type — chosen via the card picker (six categories)
- Your contact details — auto-filled from the current login, read-only
- Short title — required, max. 255 characters
- Description — optional, free text
On submit an ITSM ticket is created with the matching ticket type:
- Report a problem →
incident(medium priority) - all other categories →
service_request(medium priority)
After successful creation the newly opened ticket is displayed along with a deep-link to the ticket detail page (/desk/<id>).
No active ITSM licence
If the tenant has no active ITSM add-on licence, the form remains visible but every field and the submit button are disabled. A notice banner tells the user to contact their admin.
Security & isolation
- All portal data is scoped to the authenticated user — only their own assets, tickets, and movements are returned.
- Ticket creation follows the same permission, audit-log, and tenant isolation rules as the agent portal.
- The request type is a UI helper only; server-side the ITSM type (
incident/service_request) is what matters.
