Using remote choice fields to directly access catalog items (legacy)
You can enable your customers, in their own ServiceNow instance, to read the choice list of a remote choice field directly from your (provider) ServiceNow instance.
Overview
Remote choice fields provide your customers direct access to your (provider) data in real time while they submit a remote record producer service request.
By using remote choice fields, you have the following advantages:
- Removes the need to replicate foundation data.
- Reduces the cost and maintenance of integrations.
You can control the data that your customers access by defining a remote choice field. To learn more, see Create remote choice definitions in Service Exchange for Providers (legacy).
