The following lists and describes BRM Accelerator portlets that use the data imported from Service Desk and how they retrieve the data:

Service Delivery stoplight

This stoplight on the provider portal page is based on open incidents for all the customers that subscribe to the service. The data is retrieved as follows:

  1. Each customer open incident data is considered.
  2. The open incident data is compared to the incident threshold on their subscriptions.
  3. The stoplight is determined. Then, compared across each subscribing customer stoplights to see what the overall stoplight is.
Customer Watch portlet

This portlet on the Service Layout: Dashboard page is a bubble chart that uses the number of open incidents for one customer subscribing to a service. The portlet retrieves this data using an individual customer open incident count for a specific service.

The portlet gathers the data using the created incidents for the past six months. Also considers the current month for each customer that has a subscription to the service.

Only one target line appears that aggregates the target values for all customers.
