What is the related list for the new data certification?

I am trying to show the certification records associated with a service but I can't figure out which related lists needs to be used.

The old certification tasks would show with Certification Elements and Certification Tasks but not anymore with the new data certification under the CMDB Workspace. Which is the right related list to select?

 

I've found and added all of these and although I see attestation, I do not see one for certification.

I was able to manually add it here but shouldn't this be done automatically?

The Data Manager tasks aren't automatically added to CI form views in UI16 - no plans to change this behavior since it's configurable.

 

If adding these as Related Items in the Activity section of the new CI form (introduced in CMDB Workspace 7.6.2) would be useful let me know - we can investigate adding these as OOB related items.

It would be helpful when reviewing a business application or service instance to see when the last time it was certified, the type of certification and by whom. Is there another way to view this other than adding a related list?

We've received a few requests over the years for including fields on CI forms similar to the attestation fields to record when a CI was last certified.  The problem with this approach is that it's possible to have separate certification policies covering different fields on the same CI records. Dedicated certification fields would always be updated by the most recent certification and it wouldn't be possible to track the individual fields that had been certified.

While we could potentially add fields (as some customers have done) to the CI tables, because certification can be performed for data in virtually any table (i.e. non-CMDB tables), adding certification fields to all tables is impractical.

 

While it's not an ideal solution for you, the Data Certification dashboard goes some way to providing visibility of certification results for records.
