  • Coalesce Fields in Imports: If matched using coalesce fields, an existing record is updated with the imported information; otherwise, a new record is created.

  • Metrics in ServiceNow Reporting: Metrics are used to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of IT service management processes. They are not report gauges used for real-time data or comparative measurements of flows and SLAs, or time measurements of workflows and SLAs.

  • Service Catalog Item Display Sequence: The order in which Service Catalog items are displayed is controlled by the Sequence field on the Catalog Item form.

  • Report Creation Locations: Reports can be created from List column headings and View/Run modules. Metrics and Statistics modules are options for analysis, but other methods are available for getting reports.

  • Knowledge Base Search Sorting: Knowledge Base search results can be sorted by Most recent update, Relevancy, and Number of views.

  • Order Fulfillment Path: An Administrator can view a fulfillment stage task list by following this path; REQ (Number) > RITM (Number) > TASK (Number).

  • Application Menu Shortcuts: Favorites are frequently used application menus and modules.

  • CMDB Discovery and Population: Discovery and population of CMDB is performed using DiscoveryHub ETL, Finders, and/or the CMDB Plug-in.

  • Mapping Assist: Import logs and Transform History are used with Mapping Assist during load and transform processes to map fields in imports. Field Map is another relevant option.

  • Table Types: Base tables can be extended by other tables, however, they do not extend another table.
