I am stuck on this. How to pull the category and subcategory details from other table instead of Incident table. What we have to mention in Name (Is it assignment group name)

@vidyajadhav what do you mean for other table?

If it is incident > then you will see fields from incident table.

If it is different table, apply different table.

 

Only what you can do it dot-walking - scroll down to the last option "Show related fields":

But it will allow you to go for referenced tables, e.g. Incident > Caller > Location > Street or Incident > Assignment group > Manager > Email

 

The Category and Subcategory are there OOTB

 

Thank you for your Kudos in case if this was helpful for you

Hello @vidyajadhav ,

 

1st Req : Map Category/subcategory to group. Use Assignment Rule/Data lookup under System Policy for granular control without scripting.

For data look up create matcher and setter field definitions.

Then create records for your criteria in the Assignment Data [dl_u_assignment ]look up table.

for the Time Requirements that escalates to another group, you can either use business rule or flow to achieve this.

 

Example scenario: Create 2 SLA's for for escalation purposes.

SLA 1 = Escalated to group 2 after 24hours

SLA 2 = Escalated to group 3 after 34 hours

Logic for your flow or BR :

When SLA for Group 1 is breached (24hours), a script or flow updates the assignment group to Group 2.

The Same rule for the 48hours.

 

If this was helpful, kindly accept as solution or drop a kudos to help others with the same scenario.

 

Hopefully this helps.

Hi @vidyajadhav 

 

Technically, there is no direct relationship between Category/Subcategory and Assignment Group in ServiceNow. However, you can establish links between Configuration Items (CIs) and Assignment Groups, or between CIs and Category/Subcategory. But what you mentioned is not a built-in relationship.

Now, coming to your question — what you're looking for seems to fall under the Escalation module in ServiceNow. It appears to be quite doable.

There is an out-of-the-box (OOTB) process available for this.

Please refer to the following links:
