Extended Services View

A new feature called 'Extended Services View' has been introduced in the services page. It's located above the list of services and can be toggled on or off by clicking the Extended view toggle button.

With the 'Extended Services View,' users can have a summarized overview of their service statistics. This includes the number of services, actual spending for the selected period, the budget for the selected period, the number of active contracts, and the pricing of those active contracts. These numbers take into account any filters that have been applied and are automatically recalculated when filters are changed. The state of this toggle will be remembered between visits, so the user will see it in the same state as the last time they visited the page.

Services Overview

All of your services detected through the connected Discovery Sources will be shown in the Services section. By default, the following columns will be shown:

  • Service: name of the SaaS service along with its logo
  • Business Owner: Business Owner assigned to the SaaS service in your organization
  • Priority: indicates priority of a service
  • Service Delegates: Business Owner's backup
  • Department: department that is assigned as the owner of the service
  • $/mo: monthly cost
  • M/M: indicates whether your expenses are going up, down, or staying the same month-to-month
  • $YTD: year-to-date spend
  • Y/Y: year-over-year change in spending
  • Fiscal $YTD: total spending current year-to-date
  • Manage Integration Status: Status, where the services discovered, has been integrated into SMP for more detailed information (e.g. services usage, etc)

Global service search

For users that are simply looking to jump into a specific service quickly, the top bar menu now includes a Global Service Search. With this, you need to start typing the name of the desired service, and the result will appear directly below. Optionally, by clicking into the field, the full-service list will appear on a drop-down list.

Important Services List Considerations

For a service to appear in the list of services, it has to be discovered by one of the Discover Integrations or get added via a manual upload. In case a service does not get discovered automatically, there is an option to add the service via the Add Service button. However, adding a service via this method does not allow for any automatic updates to the financial data because this service is not 'linked' to a vendor in one of your Discover Integrations.

Filtering & Sorting Services

You can filter and sort services to show only the most important Services.

Filtering on standard fields

You can filter Services based on standard attributes:
