Hello All,

 

I am new to Servicenow and was wondering what does this mean : configure playbooks(medium/high) complexity ? and runbooks ?  I know you can configure runbooks but can you configure playbooks or are they just documents with detailed process?

Hi @Servicenow lear ,

 

I am assuming you might be referring to ServiceNow Process Automation Designer, in that case, you can get started with the below document.

 

https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/playbooks-getting-started/

 

If you are actually referring to the Playbook Experience module, the below articles and resources can be a bit helpful to get started with. The module will be now visible on navigation menu as Playbook Experience.
