  • If the firmware product that is embedded into your OT assets isn't already represented in the Enterprise Asset Management Content Service, create a custom firmware product.

    Before you begin

    Important:
    You can create custom firmware products only using the OT Asset Workspace. To use the OT Asset Workspace, install the OT Asset Management application on your ServiceNow instance. See Install OT Asset Management for detailed instructions.

    2. Select the Custom firmware products tab.
    3. Select New.

    Result

    The custom firmware product is created.

Otherwise, the Enterprise Asset Management application creates a custom firmware publisher to associate with the custom firmware product.
