Hi Team,

 

Please assist.

We want to update 1) Priority of Incident  based on combination of two fields cmdb_ci.attribute  and impact in Incident

example : if Impact = High and cmdb_ci.attibute = 1, THEN Incident priority =P1

likewise there are 4 combinations 

 

also i started with another piece to be added here

if cmdb_ci.support_group is NOT empty, then populate the Incident-Assignemnt group = cmdb_ci.support_group

 

Can someone please assist 

THanks

HI @Moin Kazi 

 

We have priority rules yes,

but for Event management based on CI -attributes and Impact we need to set up the Priority .

This is only for a certain case where we are using Business Service = value1

Our Business rule contains that condition as well.

 

Thanks

Hi @Nisha30,

In ServiceNow, incident priority is determined using Priority lookups, which can be accessed by navigating to:

System Policies → Rules → Data Lookup Definitions → Priority Lookup

Within this, you’ll find the matcher table dl_u_priority that requires configuration. You can create a custom field referencing the cmdb_ci table and adjust the records as needed.

As for your second requirement, there is already an Out-of-the-Box (OOB) Business Rule available that updates the Assignment Group based on the CMDB_CI.support_group.

The BR needs to be defined with an Order value greater than 1000, if defined to run "Before" to over-ride the Priority Data Lookup feature. See:
