Tailoring is any change to the out-of-box system data. Tailoring never changes the actual
Service
Manager code or program. Service Manager allows you to change almost any record value.
The
following are examples of tailoring changes you can make by changing the underlying record
values.
l Change the look and operation of forms by changing the form definition in the format table.
l Change how fields are mapped in the back-end database by changing the value of the field
mapping in the data dictionary.
l Change the workflow of a particular change by changing the values of the underlying phase
and
task records.
l Change what records a favorite or view displays by changing the value of the underlying
query.
Tip: Since tailoring involves changing record values, you should create a back-up of your
system
data before tailoring your system. Having a backup available gives you the option to revert
to a
working system should your tailoring changes cause a system outage.
Modification to forms

Validation rules
Menu changes

Link record changes (find and fill)

Discuss customization this usually means changes at the RAD layer. Very
few SC legacy customers have this capability. With the introduction of
Javascript capabilities, most customization occurs using this utility. Very
complex functionality can be written using Javascript with Doc Engine.
Customization should be avoided if at all possible and will not be supported
by HP if it materially alters SM functionality.
