Can you add a bit more context by what you mean by "mapping asset information in the service catalog". This could be interpreted as a few different things 🙂

Hi @atul_pawar ,

The good way for mapping asset information in the Service Catalog is to properly mapp with asset records  with Configuration Items , ensuring synchronization, lifecycle consistency, and contextual catalog visibility. This prevents data mismatches, improves reporting.

If you share more details according to your requirement, I can tell you more proper way.

Please mark helpful & correct answer if it's worthy for you.

Hello @atul_pawar ,

 

For this, I'd suggest to align your catalog items directly with the Common Service Data Model (CSDM) and leverage standardized mapping techniques.

 

The Recommended approaches would be :

  • Group catalog items under defined Service Offerings using the CSDM framework.
  • Use top down discovery patterns to connect infrastructure configuration items (CIs) to specific application services.
  • Leverage cloud resource tags to build accurate maps without managing complex network credentials.
