Use cases

ITSVC sits between SVCCAT (user-facing catalog items) and SVC (device-level network services). It represents the logical IT service that users consume. ITCHANGE, TICKET, ITPROBLEM, and CMDB all reference ITSVC via a service objectLookup field, and the relatedlist panels here use stockRecord on that field to show all linked records.
