How to enable Live Feed for tables?

Previously there was a Business Rule called "planned task global events" which is now disabled as part of an update from ServiceNow.

 

Now, everytime someone makes a mention under specific tables of planned task the notifications are not going through.

 

What is the right way to enable Live Feed for tables or is it supposed as best practice to re-enable the business rule?

@AnotherNOWDev 

-> don't enable that BR directly

things to check

-> check if the collection type dictionary entry has live_feed=false which is disabling this

-> as per this KB it doesn't work for new records and works only for existing records link

Hi @AnotherNOWDev ,

 

How to Enable Live Feed on a Table

 

  • Update Dictionary Attributes: Navigate to System Definition > Tables, open your target table, and ensure the live_feed dictionary attribute is set to true. 
  • Add UI Actions: Configure UI actions like Follow on Live Feed and Show Live Feed so they appear on the form layouts and headers. 
  • Configure Table Notifications: Set up automated feed updates under Live Feed > Feed Administration > Table Notifications to trigger posts when specific record conditions are met.
