ITIL 4 Field Coverage
Complete reference for the 46 industry-standard help-desk ticket fields TATER Ops captures - full parity with ITIL 4, ServiceNow ITSM, Jira Service Management, Zendesk, and Freshservice. Documents auto-fill behavior for SLA + lifecycle fields.
ITIL Process Profiles
Per-task profiles that drive field visibility, allowed status transitions, and SLA defaults from an industry standard (ITIL 4 Incident / Service Request / Problem, NIST SP 800-61 IR, or custom).

Reimbursements & Expenses
Submit reimbursements or log company-card spend with multi-line requests, per-line receipts, approval routing, and an AP queue. Reimbursable lines route to an approver then AP pays; company-card lines are logged for reconciliation. Submit from Ops or My TATER → My Expenses, with per-employee reporting in Insights and five MCP tools. Replaces fragile Form → Power Automate intake. ADO #759.
Meetings & Business Documentation
Meeting Records with attendees, agenda, transcripts, decisions, and linked-artifact roll-up. New Business Docs area for SOPs / process maps / role descriptions / vendor briefs. MCP-first: your external LLM does all extraction via 14 new MCP tools; TATER never runs server-side LLM calls. ADO #499 + #501 + #503.
Meeting Recorder
Record the meetings you don't host, right in the TATER agent. Captures system audio + mic and transcribes locally (no cloud, no audio upload), then logs a Meeting Record with an Outlook calendar match. Review & save before anything uploads; extraction happens in your own AI via MCP.
Document Reviews & Acknowledgements
Post one or more internal documents - employee manuals, HR policies, SOPs - for staff to review and acknowledge in a single sign-off. Target specific individuals, all staff in the org, or groups (departments / tags). Auditable trail (who, when, IP, attestation snapshot), completion roster with CSV export, reminder emails before expiry, a weekly pending-reviews digest, and a cross-org My Reviews queue in My TATER.

Per-person completion tracking, completion rules (all / quorum / any), reminder and escalation sweeps, a cross-org My Reviews inbox, and MCP access.
Surveys
Build custom surveys (single/multi choice, rating, NPS, scale, text) and distribute them two ways: assign to staff (individuals / all-org / groups, answered in My TATER → My Surveys) or attach to ticket categories so a CSAT survey is emailed automatically when a ticket closes. Aggregated results with NPS, respondent roster, anonymous mode, and a public response page for external requesters.
Approvals (Universal Approval Engine)
One approval engine behind every "needs a decision" flow — travel exemptions, license rentals, change requests, exceptions, and more. Reusable approval groups (optionally Entra-group-backed) with decision modes (any / all / quorum / percentage), multi-stage workflows, automatic reminders + escalation, and a unified My Approvals inbox in My TATER. MCP tools included.
Information Requests (RFI)
Formally request information — typed custom fields (text, select, date, file upload, …) and/or supporting documents — that staff fulfill in My TATER → My Requests or external parties fulfill via a secure tokenized link. Reusable templates, document collection, reminders, accept / request-changes review, an embeddable hook for onboarding/offboarding (new-hire & exit info), MCP tools, and an Insights completion/aging report.
