Override Options

Context

Customers may consider changing the mapping of individual JDisc 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 JDisc status value into each of the four ServiceNow status values can be amended.

Overriding via Connection Settings

Not Available - Requires a Custom Data Sync Rule (and therefore a Syncfish Support Plan to modify the default behavior).

Additional Information

N/A

  • Note: These related rules describe the handling of inactive and deleted assets in addition to Status value update suppression. Status value update suppression can often be useful to cater for In-Stock/Under-Maintenance asset management scenarios.
