BMC Customer Support is excited to announce two new website features for self-service:
These new features are explained in more detail below.
“Favorite Products Only” option for Search BMC Support
The Search BMC Support interface is the latest feature to incorporate the logged in user’s Favorite Products to provide a more relevant, personalized experience on BMC Websites.
When a logged in user has favorite products configured, Search BMC Support defaults to filter search results to just the ones for those products. This allows users to configure their favorite products once and use those settings every time they Search BMC Support. They can also toggle the “Favorite Products Only” option on or off to see results for all products.
If the logged in user does not have any Favorite Products configured, the “Favorite Products Only” option is not selected and the behavior is the same as for un-authenticated users.
A few notes on the feature:
Knowledge Article Survey
Also introduced is a feature to measure self service effectiveness and capture opportunities for improvement in our knowledge articles. After opening, scrolling, and viewing a knowledge article for a period of time, a survey will be presented asking “Was the article helpful? Yes/No “ If the answer is no, there is an opportunity to enter freeform text for “How can the article be improved?” This applies to knowledge articles displayed on BMC Community or Support Central.
Our goal is to make it easy as possible to access the knowledge, ask the survey question only after the user has a chance to evaluate its usefulness, and act on the feedback to make improvements. It will also allow us to measure success over time and optimize our knowledge management lifecycle. The survey will never be displayed a second time for the same article number and logged in user if they have already responded to the survey with either a Yes or No.
We hope these features help you to find relevant solutions initially, and see continual improvement in the knowledge you use via self service. We welcome any feedback, thoughts or questions on these new features.
We are happy to announce the launch of our first BMC AMI Ops course. This BMC AMI Ops Infrastructure course is essential for all those working in technical roles within a z/OS® environment.
