Here is how you can ensure that your service items are pulled as relevant responses to your employees' queries:

Set up the right Service items

1. Add specific titles

Add the primary keyword(s) i.e., the specific service that employees will ask to find this item

Examples:

Github Access”, “Apple Developer Access”, “New user Request”, “Assistance with tax computation”

2. Add comprehensible descriptions

\- Deliver overall understanding of the service

\- Easily understandable

Example:

Graphics software for digital graphics, illustrations, and typography creation. Supported platforms: Windows 8, Windows 7

3. Capture additional information in short description

Add additional phrases that are not captured in the title but point to the same service item.

Example:

\- For service item MS Office: Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Outlook, Visio

4. Avoid duplication

Title, short description, and long descriptions should not be duplicates of each other
