How to: Export Incident and Requested Item Data for HappySignals POC

This article describes the needed steps to get HappySignals demo to run with your own data.

HappySignals Lightweight POC allows importing your operational ticket data categories from your ticketing system to the HappySignals Platform. This is done to understand exactly how HappySignals would work for your organisation. But don't worry no personal data or ticket content is transferred. 

The only thing from you as customer is that you or your ITSM-tool delivery partner will run one report in your system and send that data to HappySignals. We will then prepare the demo for you to see and share in your organisation. 

If you are not yet a customer and would like to discuss more about the POC, please contact support@happysignals.com.

General Requirements

Export category data from least 500 tickets. (recommendation 500 - 5000 tickets)

Make sure that the tickets are in closed state to ensure the data is as
rich as possible.
