Addressing issues in Subscription Management
Stay in compliance by mapping custom tables and custom applications to subscriptions in Subscription Management.
Key benefits
- Identify custom tables and custom applications that aren't mapped to subscriptions.
- Maintain accurate entitlements by mapping custom tables and custom applications to a recommended product subscription or a product subscription of your choice.
- Plan for future subscription needs by assessing your custom table entitlements.
Accessing subscription issues
Access information on subscription issues on the Issues tab by navigating to or .
Unmapped global custom tables
Determine whether you have custom tables in the global scope that aren't mapped to a valid product subscription by accessing the Unmapped global custom tables tab. Keep custom table entitlements current by mapping the tables to a product subscription. For more information, see Map custom tables to a product subscription in Subscription Management.
Recommended subscriptions for unmapped custom tables appear on the Issues tab the day after the unmapped custom table is created.
Unmapped custom applications
Determine whether you have custom tables in a scoped application that aren't currently mapped to a valid product subscription by accessing the Unmapped custom applications tab. Ensure that entitlements for these tables are current by mapping the application to a product subscription.
You map tables in a scoped application at the application-level, which eases administration because you don't need to map tables individually after the application is mapped. For more information, see Map a custom application to a product subscription in Subscription Management.
Recommended subscriptions for unmapped custom applications appear on the Issues tab the day after the unmapped custom table is created.
Recommended subscriptions
When you map custom tables or custom applications to subscriptions, Subscription Management displays recommended subscriptions based on the following criteria:
- The table belongs to an app scope or package
- The custom table or tables in the application belong to an app scope or package associated with the recommended subscription.
- The table extends another table
- The custom table or tables in the application extend another table mapped to the recommended subscription.
- The table has a relationship to another table
- The custom table or tables in the application are related to a different custom table or a ServiceNow default table associated with the recommended subscription.
- The table doesn't meet any of the previous criteria
- The custom table or tables in the application don't meet any of the previous criteria. If you have an App Engine subscription, Subscription Management recommends mapping the table or application to an App Engine subscription.
If the criteria for recommending a subscription aren't met and you don't have an App Engine subscription, Subscription Management can't display recommended subscriptions for unmapped applications and tables. Unmapped applications and tables without subscription recommendations are counted in the Subscription Management Overview reports, but aren't shown in subscription Issues. You can map any missing custom applications and tables to a subscription from the Custom Applications list or the Custom Table Inventory list. For more information, see Map a missing custom application to a product subscription in Subscription Management and Map a missing custom application to a product subscription in Subscription Management.
In some cases, groups aren't recommended because the measured role is inherited and not directly assigned. To work around this problem, assign the measured role directly to the group. Once the group is assigned the measured role, the group appears in the list of recommend groups in Subscription Management.
