ServiceNow is a cloud-
based platform deployed
ina browser that contains
applications and data that
can vary by instance and
user, automating common co
business processes
ork at Lights
A leader in Enterprise Service Management (ESM), the ServiceNow Service Automation Platform
provides a modern, easy-to-use, service management solution in the cloud allowing your
organization to automate manual repetitive setup tasks, manage your core IT processes, standardize
service delivery, and focus on your core business, not just ITSM infrastructure.
ServiceNow provides all of this to users from a configurable web-based user interface, built on top
ofa flexible table schema.
The ServiceNow platform and the applications that run on it use a single system of record and a
common data model to consolidate your organization’s business processes.
Another advantage to this single system is that it can be leveraged to build custom applications.
The ServiceNow platform provides a Platform as a Service (PaaS), a cloud-based comp
that provides the infrastructure needed to develop, run, and manage applications.

© 2018 ServiceNow, ic, All Righis Reserved 9What is the ServiceNow Instance?
An instance is a single implementation of the ServiceNow platform
* Independent, changeable, and highly configurable
+ Not shared with other ServiceNow customers (single-tenant)
* Each instance has applications
+ Each instance has customer data that can be exchanged between instances
* Upgrades are made on individual instances
‘An instance is located (hosted) in one of the ServiceNow Data Centers around the world, or for a
very, very small percentage of our customers, an instance can be implemented onsite at the
customer's location. Each ServiceNow instance has a unique URL that uses a format similar to
https:// service-now.com/.
ServiceNow utilizes an advanced, multi-instance, single-tenant architecture as the default offering
for customers, meaning an instance features an individually isolated database containing data,
applications, and customizations.
The ServiceNow multi-instance architecture, organized in an instance stack, provides these distinct
advantages:
+ The multi-instance architecture allows ServiceNow to perform actions on individual customer
instances such as performing an upgrade, on a schedule that fits the compliance requirements
and needs of your enterprise.
* Data is truly isolated in their own databases, making hardware and software maintenance on
these unique customer instances far easier to perform and issues can be resolved on a customer-
by-customer basis.
Each customer organization receives two instances of ServiceNow: production and sub-production.
They have the ability to obtain additional sub-production instances to be used for User Acceptance
lesting (UAL), Review, Development, or Quality Assurance (CA).

Users ————— Groups ——.
Within a ServiceNow instance, users are: collection of users is a group
+ Updating records
Groups share a common purpose such as
+ Importing data ee eae
Users approving change requests or users
+ Requesting items receiving e-mail notifications
+ Implementing workflows
+ Approving knowledge content Examples of Groups include:
* Running reports * Service Desk
+ Developing applications + Knowledge Base Authors
+ HR Administrators
Users are represented by a record created or
imported into the User {sys_user] table A group is one record stored in the
Group [sys_user_group] table
Manage the individuals who can access ServiceNow by defining them as users in the platform.
NOTE: User names (represented by user IDs) are unique in ServiceNow.
Users are authenticated by various methods, including:
‘+ Local database: The user name and password in their user record in the instance database
+ Multifactor: The user name and password in the database and a passcode sent to the user's
mobile device that has Google Authenticator installed
+ LDAP: The user name and password are accessed via LDAP in the corporate directory, which
has a matching user account in the ServiceNow database
+ SAMI 2.0: The user name and password configured in a SAML identity provider account,
which has a matching user account in the database
+ OAuth 2.0: The user name and password of OAuth identity provider, which has a matching,
user account in the database
st Token: An encrypted
sst of the user name and password in the user record
User credentials are matched to different saved credentials for each method. Multiple Provider SSO
allows the selection/use of several identity providers (IdPs) to manage authentication as well as
retain local database authentication.
A group is part of the user hierarchy, and a user is part of a group. Groups may be imported from a
corporate directory (LDAP) or created manually in ServiceNow.

User Interface & Navigation
© 2018 ServiceNow, ic, All Righis Reserved "Key Platform UI Components servicenow
The User Interface (UI) is the main way for users to interact with the applications and information in
a ServiceNow instance. Notable ServiceNow features include real-time form updates, user presence,
an application navigator designed with tabs for favorites and history, and enhanced activity streams
all of which you will explore in this training. This is an example of the System Administration
homepage.
‘The ServiceNow user interface is di
led into three areas:
1, Banner Frame: The Banner Frame highlights important tools and settings that apply to your
instance.
2. Application Navigator: The components of the Application Navigator, the panel on the left
side, are based upon your assigned role(s). The navigator may be expanded (as shown
above) or collapsed. The navigator provides links to all application menus and modules,
based on your permissions.
3. Content Frame: The Content Frame displays information, such as lists, forms, dashboards,
knowledge bases, and service catalogs depending on where you navigate within the
platform. This also impacts how the information is visually represented.
NOTE: The position of these components on your screen may vary depending on your region.

Ear
‘The Application Navigator is a
list of available applications and
their corresponding modules Modules enable navigation
to different areas of the
platform, including:
—Links to a new record
Applications are a collection
of modules; modules and data
that deliver a service and
manage business processes
—Filtered lists of records
Special view pages
Applications are a group of modules, or pages, that provide related information and functionality in
an instance. Modules can contain links to a new record, lists of records with varying filters applied,
and special visual tools.
For example, the Incident application contains modules for creating and viewing incidents. The
Configuration application contains modules for changing and accessing servers, databases, and
networks.

To quickly search throughout the application navigator to view a particular application or module,
use the Filter Navigator. The Filter Navigator is located at the top of the Application Navigator.
‘As soon as a user begins typing, the Application Navigator displays only applications and/or modules
matching the keyword. For example, if the keyword “Incident” is typed into the Filter Navigator, the
Incident application and a list of ail its modules will display, as well as any modules containing the
word “Incident” within other applications, such as Service Desk > Incidents.

If anything in this class seems interesting, we highly encourage you to explore the topic in more
detail through either of the following websites:
docs.servicenow.com is the official documentation resource for ServiceNow, with content produced
by ServiceNow. From features to functionality, and even release notes, this resource should have all
of the information needed to get the most out of the platform.
community-servicenow.com is similar to the Docs website, in that it provides useful information
about the ServiceNow platform. However, where Community really excels is by bringing together
actual ServiceNow users to collaborate, share, and produce ideas, content, and even answers to
questions you may have!
This is a great resource to learn from users with real-life experience on the platform!

Filters are used to specify exactly which records to displaywithin a selected list. For example, you
may start with a list of all incidents but filter those records to view only active incidents assigned to
you. Users can apply, create, modify, and save filters.
To view the filter applied to alist, click the funnel icon on the top left of the list. Here, you can add,

Three components of a filter condition: _A filter operator represents the
action to take; it is a choice list
1. Field 2. Operator 3. Val
\ p (alue based on the field type
The three parts ofa filter condition are:
1. Field: A choice list based on the table and user access rights. The choice list includes fields
on related tables by dot-walking.
2. Operator: A choice list based on the field type. For example, in the incident table, the
greater than operator does not apply to the Active field but it does apply to the Priority field.
Value: A text entry field or a choice list, depending on the field type. For example, in the
incident table, the Active field offers a choice list with the values true, false, and empty,
while the Short description field offers a text entry field.
A filter operator can specify conditions including: itis this, it is not this, it is same as, it is different
from, etc.
Filter operators will change depending on field data type, for example:
not, contains, is one of, starts with, ends with
, is not, greater than, less than, greater than or is, less than or is,

Lab Goal
This lab will show you how to do the following:
* Open an Update Set
+ Create @ new intinity list view on the Incident table
* Practice filtering data on an incident list and saving a new filter
+ Locate and update incident records using inline editing
One goal of Cloud Dimensions with using ServiceNow is handling Infinity support,
Before the product is launched, however, Cloud Dimensions employees are actively testing
I devices.
Winnie Reich ~ manager of the Service Desk ~ has requested help from the Cloud Dimensions
system administrator in creating a new Infinity view on the incident table.
This view will be configured to include the necessary fields for supporting Infinity, for both
internal and external users alike.
Winnie has also asked her direct report, Kevin Edd, to create and share a list filter that will filter
active incidents and display only those submitted by Infinity employee testers.
A. Open an Update Set
Before starting the lab, create an Update Set. Update Sets are used to capture configuration
changes made to the platform and are explored later in class. Create an Update Set now and
follow up with it at a relevant time.
1. Impersonate the System Administrator using the user menu.
NOTE: If you have logged out of your instance, use the System Administrator (admin)
credentials provided by your instructor

NOTE: A message oppears at the top of your instance indicating the Update Set has been
set to the current Update Set. This means changes made to the platform will be captured
inthis Update Set moving forward.
B. Create the Infinity List View
The system administrator user has the appropriate permissions for creating a new list view on
incident — we will assume they have already received the requirements from Winnie Reich.

configure applications on the ServiceNow instance.
Using the ITSM Guided Setup, users can perform structured configuration activities that help
configure ITSM applications and can monitor the progress. Each configuration activity in ITSM.
Guided Setup is designed to simplify the configurations by providing access to contextual embedded
help, contextual documentation on the ServiceNow product documentation site, and guided tours
(if available for an activity).
‘The ITSM Guided Setup configures the common platform settings through the following categories:
+ Company: Activities under this category help you to configure company name, logo, and color
theme to reflect your corporate brand and to configure the default system settings such as the
time zone and the date and time formats
+ Connectivity: Activities under this category help you to configure your ServiceNow instance to
support inbound and outbound email notifications and to integrate it with your existing LDAP and
Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions
+ People: In case you do not use LDAP to import data into your ServiceNow instance, activities
under this category can help you to import Users, Groups, Group Members, Companies,
Departments, and Locations and to assign roles to groups
In addition to the ITSM Guided Setup, there are guided setups for ITOM and HR as well.
