How i can generate asset tag and serial number automatically in alm_asset table?

[Community Alums]

Hi All,

I am creating records dynamically in alm_asset table via run script activity in workflow. Whenever a record is created i need to set unique value to both "Asset Tag" field and "Serial Number" field. Can anyone help how can we achieve this without number maintenance?

Regards,

Sirraj

Hello Siraj,

Administrators can manage record numbering by navigating to System Definition > Number Maintenance. The current number format for a table, including the prefix (such as INC for incidents or CHG for changes), is stored in a record on the Number [sys_number] table.

Reference : https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-platform-administration/page/administer/field-administrat...

There is entry available for asset table in number maintance table, if not create for it.

You need to create entry for Asset table :

And in script you need to add below line for auto numbering:

var gr = new GlideRecord('alm_asset');

gr.initialize();

gr.asset_tag = new NumberManager(gr.sys_meta.name).getNextObjNumberPadded();

gr.insert();

OR Option 2:
