Welcome to the SMAX User Group! The User Group meetings provide implementers with the opportunity to learn and exchange information on technical topics with Micro Focus subject experts, partners, and SMAX user peers. These bi-weekly discussions are best suited for those with implementation expertise and/or previous training.

When: Bi-weekly Wednesdays, 8:00am PT (see schedule below)

Where: REGISTER HERE for the live meetings, then block your calendar for every two weeks and check back here regularly for topic updates.

What:  The calendar of topics and dates will be updated in the table below. You may also want to subscribe to the Q&A and Learn online communities here.

 

There are three types of meetings:

Feature Spotlight - Join these sessions to get a deeper understanding of new or existing SMAX features and capabilities. Our SMAX product experts will provide demonstrations, host discussions, and answer common questions. The format for these meetings include feature drill-downs, using SMAX or other Micro Focus technologies, best practice sharing, and practical use cases with crawl, walk, run scenarios for specific capabilities.

Release Readiness  - With each quarterly release of SMAX we host the Release Readiness meeting to help you prepare for the upcoming release. We discuss what is being introduced and the value of adopting the new capability into your business, and provide practitioners with the details of what changes, enhancements and new capabilities are included for your implementation and technical considerations. We also recommend reviewing the release documentation and attending the Feature Spotlight drill-down sessions which provide greater details about the release.

Office Hours - This open meeting provides an opportunity for SMAX users to ask questions and engage with the product experts and your peers. You can provide suggestions for future Feature Spotlight topics, and share your own best practices and tips.

Upcoming Sessions

Biweekly discussions Wednesdays at 8:00 am PST (UTC -8) are technical deep dive for those with implementation expertise or previous training.

SMAX Implementation Tips and Lessons Learned – Part 1

·       In this new multi-part series, we’ll be sharing SMAX implementation lessons learned and best practices. This series is highly recommended for all implementers, in particular those who have completed the training and are new to a project.

·       The sessions will showcase the lessons learned by presenting real customer cases that we have seen in the field. In this first session will cover an example on how we implement a fulfilment procedure via a task plan in SMAX versus a process workflow in Service Manager. A second example is around the use of requests to handle 80% of the tickets addressed by the service desk – they don’t have to become an Incident record.

    Is there a SMAX configuration guide pdf format for the latest version.  in the "SMAX best practice presentation and discussion: REST APIs, Data Load" sharing session, the instructor mentioned, it can be download from community, if no latest version available, where can i get that old version?

    You can always generate a PDF using the pdf-icon in the right upper corner in every part of the documentation in docs-Portal. Even the whole documentation could be generated to PDF when doing this on the start page (this takes some time so you need to wait a bit)
