SNow Field by Field descriptions for Business and Applications Services

[taniak]

Is there a list that contains a description for the fields in ServiceNow as it relates to Configuration Management?

Oh, great!   You are in the right place, then.   Go here: https://developer.servicenow.com/

https://developer.servicenow.com/

and get yourself your own instance to play around in.

Here is some more info:

ServiceNow Developer Site

https://community.servicenow.com/search.jspa?q=developer%20site

It will be your own personal site once you get one.   You can mess up and reset it as much as you want.   There is also training documentation there.

Thanks so much! This is super silly!! I have Sandbox environment set up through my company so I am playing with an instance. The problem is I want to access that link you sent to maybe view the field by field definitions but it seems like it isn't working for me. I appreciate all you have done so far... just seems a challenge to get a link LOL!

Ok.. let's do it another way.   In the left navigator, type sys_documentation.list:

It will open the Field Label table:

Put cmdb in the table search and hit enter:

That will give you practically every field in the cmdb (cmdb_ci is the base table and there are a lot that extend off that, but they all start with cmdb).

I just removed the empty hints, but that is where you will get your information.

YEAH!!!! it worked! I had to create my own instance so I could have complete admin rights. You have gone above and beyond to help me! I so appreciate it. I do have one more question. Is there a way to extract the CMDB fields in a spreadsheet so I can do a comparison. Its awesome because i have backend field names as well.
