Setting up the portal link

Setting up the portal link

Virtual agent for IT Service Desk comes with prebuilt capabilities and is set up to deal with multiple use cases in ServiceNow. As the app provides services to portal end users, it is important to define the portal for your Konverso Kbot for Snow virtual agent.

The portal configuration is used to:

  • Retrieve key environmental setup, such as a portal URL path and default knowledge base sys_id.

  • Provide relevant links to users for object references that can be provided during a conversation: the issue or request view, catalog forms, or knowledge articles.

To learn more about using default and custom knowledge bases, see the Setting up knowledge base search page.

This page explains how to set up the portal identifier inside the Konverso Kbot for Snow virtual agent and describes other portal-related settings.

The table below provides the list of settings of a service catalog access options. You can add these settings in Development > Configuration Business Unit.

snow_portal_sys_id = f1226637dbe*******c99ee3db9619f1

snow_sys_class_name_to_page

Contains the mapping of sys classes to the related portal page. It is a comma separated list of <sys_class_name>:<portal page name>. This is used for building the catalog item URLS (or have the URLs point to the Portal)

snow_sys_class_name_to_page = hardware_cat_item:device, kb_knowledge:kb_article, sc_cat_item_guide:sc_cat_item_guide

snow_portal_url_suffix

Configure the portal URL suffix.

Ignore this parameter if snow_portal_sys_id is set and a user has the permission to get the list of portals.

In the sample URL below, the abc part:
https://mycompany.service-now.com/abc

snow_portal_url_suffix = abc
