Key Outcomes
By configuring the Standard Ticket Page, ServiceNow customers can achieve a consistent way for users to view their submitted requests, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction. Activation of the page route map allows upgraded instances to utilize this feature effectively, ensuring all ticket requests are displayed uniformly across the platform.
Configure individual request types to display the request-specific information, while still having a consistent layout that is similar to other request types. This configuration ensures a consistent experience when viewing submitted requests.
For new instances, the standard ticket page is available by default. For upgraded instances, you need to activate the Standard Ticket Route page route map. For information about activating this page route map, see Activate the page route map for the standard ticket page.
The information displayed in each section of a standard ticket page depends on the individual request type. If a configurable section has no specified values or if a user does not have access to the information, it is not visible.
Header section
- Identification number
- Created and updated dates
- State. Instead of the State field, you can also configure any other field that represents the state of the ticket.
Info section
- Ticket description region with the short description, and optionally the
description.Note:You can map the Description field to any other field on the record.
- Fields region where the associated fields are configured. A configured field is not
visible when it has no value or when a user does not have access to the field.Note:A field of the Workflow type is not supported for any table.
