  • ENH0014365 - Distribution of scientific data from CTL instruments
    The Collaborative teaching laboratory has a roughly 20 instruments that students are required to use to analyse samples. Currently students save the results to a shared drive. This should then be automatically emailed to the students but the automation is incomplete.
    Team: Harry Bamber; Tim Packwood.

Automation areas for more scoping/analysis during IT Automation Month:

  • ENH0014368 - Integration of related data from various database front ends
    We have various database frontends we regularly access in the front office when creating, reading, or modifying asset-related data, namely: Active Directory; SCCM; Infoblox; College PC inventory. Going into each one is a multiplication of effort when the data is either duplicated in each system or related by sharing a common field eg computer name or IP. It would increase productivity if we could use a central/single interface for querying each database simultaneously.

  • ENH0011230 - Workflow for staff email requests
    We need a workflow called "Staff email requests" for example, which gives the options to: Create new email (existing workflow); Setup/revoke delegate access; Secure email setup - (existing workflow); Mail quota increase; Setup archive; Grant access to other users mailbox.
    Team: Matt Warwick; Shawn Smith
     
  • ENH0014206 - Automated creation of CHG from Oracle maintenance email
    Is there a way Service Now can automatically create a CHG record when receiving an email from Oracle on planned maintenance. May also be appropriate for other supplier maintenance notifications.
    Team: Richard Clayton; Amar Bilkhu
