Beacon manual.
Beacon is the Cadres service desk: tickets, SLA policy, journey automation, chat intake, change management, major incidents, problems, knowledge and experience reporting.
Beacon is the Cadres ITSM product. Incidents, service requests, changes and problems share one ticket model. SLA policy, journey automation, chat intake and change approval are part of the product.
The first three pages describe how the desk is organised. The operator guides after them come from the product manuals and cover each workflow step by step.
- Start with Service Desk & Ticket Operations for the ticket model, intake channels and SLA policy.
- Read Automation & Change Governance before you enable journeys, run change approval or plan for major incidents.
- Read Visibility, CMDB & Experience when you set up configuration items, the device bridge or experience reporting.
Portal
Portal holds the identities, roles and permissions for everyone who works in Beacon. Migration imports match people against the Portal directory.
Relay
Relay is the endpoint management product. Its ITSM bridge turns device events into Beacon tickets and reads ticket status back.
Keystone
Keystone holds billing entitlements and seat counts, which Beacon service commitments must match.
