Service Catalog Request Workflow

Hello everyone!

 

I wanted to get some additional information regarding the Service Catalog Workflow that comes out-of-the-box with ServiceNow demo data.

This workflow is tied to the "Asset Approver > 1000" group, which automatically approves requests (REQ) with a price < 1000; otherwise, it requires approval from that group.

If this workflow is removed, no REQs get approved anymore, which prevents the associated RITM from being created, along with the related Flow (e.g., one created via Flow Designer).

This has been thoroughly covered by Mark Roethof here:
Removing Demo Data Removes Service Catalog Workflows

But where can I configure the association of the "Service Catalog Request" workflow?
For example, if I wanted to link a different workflow to all newly created REQs, where would I set that?

 

Thanks!

Hello @giuseppefalcone 

 

You don't need to attach it anywhere to work for Request level, in the workflow if the condition matches it will automatically execute for REQ level. So, what you can do here, is copy the existing flow, make the modifications, validate it. And "Deactivate" the OOB workflow, then from next time it will take up your custom flow for running.

I don't see you saying this in posts where even after consistent follow ups my answer is not accepted. Now since you partially suggested something you want it to accepted. That's just what I did, nothing different. I highlighted that my response is the accurate one and hence asked it to be accepted.
