  • The CSDM is the data model that admins should follow when they set up ServiceNow products and applications. The standards for defining configuration items (CIs) and relationships between CIs in the CMDB ensure that your data resides in the appropriate CMDB tables. The result is maximum value from ServiceNow AI Platform applications.

    CSDM modules

    Navigate to the modules that assist you in implementing and managing the CSDM domains and their components.

    Service instances Dashboard
    The Service instance dashboard enables you to monitor and manage service instances (service instances were formerly called application services) to ensure that they are fully configured and are populated in the CMDB. See Monitoring and managing service instance settings.

    Use the Life Cycle Mapping module to specify how existing legacy status values should be converted to CSDM life-cycle value pairs (life cycle stage and life cycle stage status). You map both asset and CI legacy status values to life-cycle value pairs. See Enabling life-cycle sync from legacy-to-asset.
