Single view for all requests and incidents

Hi,

My client is interested in allowing a single view for requests and incidents in SOW. By default, the SOW looks like what I have attached in the image. But I just wanted to know if it is possible to allow a single view for requests and incidents?

Hi @NishaB 

Technically yes, but logically no. You can create a custom unified list, but it's important to understand the fundamentals here. Requests and Incidents are two separate applications with distinct purposes and processes. Combining them in one place could lead to confusion and inefficiencies.

That’s why ServiceNow keeps them separate—and it's considered a best practice to maintain that separation. You can explain this to the client and help educate them on why it's the recommended approach.

@NishaB 

The reason they are separate because each of those are for different purposes.

Please inform your customer to train their agents rather than grouping them together at task level.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
