While updating many different pages on the Self-Service Portal (SSP), we’re working on improving the overall end-user experience. Because our goal is not only to improve the experience on various pages on your SSP, but also how users find their way through all these pages.

Rethinking the SSP involves many steps and changes. That’s why we launched an open beta for the new SSP. In this beta, you’ll experience the new direction of the SSP. For instance, you’ll find a new look for the startpage, a more unified look for the Incident and Change cards, a renewed Personal Profile page, and much more.

Curious about the future of the end user experience? Make sure you're not logged in to the Operator section, and simply add ‘/services/navigation-frontend/ssp/home’ behind your environment’s URL, e.g. ‘mycompany.topdesk.net/services/navigation-frontend/ssp/home’. And feel free to share this beta with your end users. Their feedback is invaluable for creating an end product that actually works for you.

As it’s an early version, you’ll probably run into things that don’t work the way they should yet. Over the coming few months, we’ll continue fixing these.


For more information, and a place to leave feedback, see our TOPdesk innovation platform.

Will there soon be a new SSP editor as well, our Beta SSP does not look well, and I would like to shuffle it a bit around :D

I can ask for it next Tuesday to the PM of the new SSP.

Hi Rico,

Did you get to ask for it?

Hi Rico,

I did indeed ask again yesterday. The focus is currently on the frontend. In the meantime, they’re still brainstorming about how they want to approach the designer. In other words: for the first launch, the old SSP designer will still be used, since the new frontend mainly relies on the current SSP backend (tiles, banner, colors etc).

Allright thanks for asking and response, yeah I was sure that was what they were planning to do. Well all there is to do now is to wait haha!

Ik vind het nieuwe SSP er goed uitzien.

Heb wel een TIP ingediend, omdat tegels met een lange tekst er niet mooi uitzien

How and where do you prefer feedback, comments and suggestions for the SSP beta to be sent. I didn’t see any feedback button there, like there has been in “new design” releases of other modules.

it looks great but indeed large text in the buttons isn't working good.

You can always leave them here and I will notify the Product manager ​@Magne B. but if you prefer to leave it in TIP, you can also do it. This is the specific card for the open beta: https://tip.topdesk.com/c/164-soft-launch-new-ssp-open-beta-

@Magne B., you can find the menuitem / button (Give Feedback) in the user popover menu of your avatar  (right above in the header). Maybe the user menu is hidden by a Beta Notice alert, just close this alert.

Loving the new look so far - I have a couple of pieces of feedback:

  • the use of the entire screen is long overdue (and gets my director  off my back, thank you!)
  • the tiles look much better, initial viewers have said how much neater the new SSP is

However(!)

  • the “logo” is too small at the top
  • Same for the "News Requests Service disruptions" line
  • Does the Search bar need to be quite so big?
  • Where text in “tiles” is different lengths the space they take up on new SSP differs, will this be rectified in the live version? (Happy to explain further - mainly occurring in subpages)

Will we have the option to switch over or will it be a “big bang” launch? 

The end of March (proposed launch period)  coincides with Easter for many countries, so launching automatically and possibly not having staff capabilities to deal with ensuing issues may be difficult - I am a team of one and on leave at the end of March so also entirely selfish question!! 

All in all though, great job!!

I completely agree that the search bar is too large, ​@Andrew Crawford ! Could it be smaller, or could it be possible to select its height (within reason, I suppose there should be a minimum height)?

Spatie tussen informatie en beveiliging kan dit oplossen. Zo doe ik dat ook in de huidige versie.
