Customization

Configured exactly for you. By your team, not ours.

Most ITSM platforms give you a rigid template and charge a consultant every time you need to change it. Vivantio's admin toolset gives your team direct control over every form, field, layout and workspace — so the platform works the way your team works, not the other way around.

No engineering resource required. Full admin control, out of the box.

The problem it solves

Platforms that make you work around the software.

A platform that doesn't fit your process creates a second process: the workaround. Fields that don't exist, layouts that show the wrong things, forms that ask the wrong questions. The result is a platform that agents tolerate rather than rely on.

  • Generic forms that arrive with the wrong fields for your services
  • Every change requires a support ticket to the vendor or a consultant day-rate
  • Agents work around the tool rather than in it

When you can't configure freely…

HR team needs a "contract type" field — it doesn't exist. They add it to the notes field instead.

Agent workspace shows 12 panels — agents need 4. Visual noise slows every interaction.

Small form change needs a professional services engagement. Three-week wait, $3,000 bill.

What Vivantio customization delivers

Every part of the platform configurable without code.

Custom forms and fields

Forms that capture exactly what your team needs — and nothing it doesn't

Vivantio gives administrators full control over the fields on every request and ticket form. Create custom fields of any type — text, dropdown, date, numeric, checkbox, multi-select — and place them exactly where they belong in the form. Conditional field visibility means fields appear only when relevant, keeping forms clean without sacrificing depth. Different ticket types carry different forms, so an IT incident form looks nothing like an HR request form.

  • Custom field types: text, dropdown, date, numeric, checkbox, multi-select, user-picker
  • Conditional field visibility based on other field values
  • Mandatory field enforcement — agents can't close a ticket without required information

Layout Manager

Agents see what matters for the record they're working — nothing more

Vivantio's Layout Manager is a visual drag-and-drop interface that gives administrators control over what agents see when they open a ticket. Panels — customer context, SLA status, related assets, communication history, custom fields, linked records — can be positioned, resized or hidden per ticket type. Reduce the visual noise on a simple service request; surface everything relevant on a complex change. Layouts can differ by team, so IT agents and HR agents each see a workspace suited to their work.

  • Drag-and-drop panel positioning — no code required
  • Different layouts per ticket type and per team
  • Show or hide any panel based on record type or context

Custom queues and saved views

Every agent works from a queue that reflects their priorities

Vivantio agents can build personal queues with exactly the columns, filters and sort orders that match how they work. A first-line agent's queue looks different from a change manager's — and that's by design. Saved views persist across sessions and can be shared across a team for consistency. Admins can publish shared queues as defaults for new agents, giving everyone a sensible starting point without locking them in.

  • Personal queue builder with custom columns, filters and sort orders
  • Saved views shareable across a team
  • Admin-published default queues for consistent onboarding

Make the change yourself. Today.

Everything described above — forms, fields, layouts, queues, workflows — is configured directly in the Vivantio admin interface. No code. No professional services engagement. No support ticket to the vendor. Your admin team owns the platform's configuration and can make changes that take effect immediately. When a new team onboards, when a process changes, or when an agent asks for a different view, the answer isn't "log a ticket with the vendor". It's "done in five minutes".

  • All configuration changes take effect immediately — no deployment cycle
  • Admin documentation and guided setup reduce onboarding time
  • Vivantio's onboarding team helps you configure the platform on day one — included in your subscription

Common questions

Customization: what teams ask us

How configurable is Vivantio without developer involvement?

Highly configurable. Vivantio's admin toolset gives your team control over custom ticket types, custom fields, form layouts, conditional field visibility, custom statuses and workflow stages, queue configuration, and agent workspace layouts. All configuration is done through the admin interface — no code, no vendor engagement, no support ticket required. Changes take effect immediately.

What is the Layout Manager in Vivantio?

The Layout Manager is a visual drag-and-drop interface that lets administrators control what information agents see when they open a ticket. Panels — for customer details, SLA status, related assets, communication history, custom fields and more — can be repositioned, hidden or resized per ticket type. This reduces visual noise and ensures agents have what they need for the record they're working on.

Can different teams have different forms and views in Vivantio?

Yes. Vivantio supports different ticket types with different forms, fields, layouts and workflows per team or service line. An IT team and an HR team can each have their own ticket types with purpose-built request forms, distinct field sets and separate workflows — all managed from the same platform, without one team's configuration affecting another.

Can agents personalise their own view of the platform?

Yes. Beyond the admin-level layout configuration, individual agents can customise their own workspace — creating personal queues with the filters, columns and sort orders that match their workflow, building saved views that persist across sessions, and setting up dashboards with the widgets most relevant to their role. Admin-defined layouts set the baseline; agents personalise within that structure.
