Override Options

Customers may consider changing the mapping of individual Jamf Status values to change the resulting ServiceNow status values.  This may be required to meet the requirements of a customer specific instance of ServiceNow (i.e. to ensure the Status values operate correctly for your business processes/workflows).

Options

  1. The transformation of the incoming Jamf status value into each of the four ServiceNow status values can be amended.
