Hi @Devika  

Do you have any screenshots of what you're referring to? That would help clarify things."

Hi @Devika  ,

In ServiceNow IRE Reconciliation Rules, Derived refers to attributes or values that are not taken directly from a field but are instead calculated, normalized, or transformed before comparison. For example, a derived value could be a normalized IP address or a concatenation like First Name + Last Name. This ensures consistent and accurate evaluation across multiple data sources during reconciliation.

You can also refer to the official documentation here for more details:

Hi @Devika  

In reconciliation rules, "derived" refers to values that are automatically assigned or generated by the system based on specific conditions or criteria, rather than being manually entered by a user. Reconciliation rules can automatically set or "derive" attribute values to specific values or assign them based on factors like recency, frequency, or priority when conditions are met.

While ingesting data in CMDB, if you have more then one source to populate data then via reconciliation you can create data precedence. Now if you define this in hardware class it will be inherited to all the child class. They are called derived reconciliation.

Go to CI Class Manager and try creating reconciliation rules for Parent Class

Now go to any Child Class and you will see reconciliation rules automatically Derived to all child classes
