Key Features
- Practice Areas Setup: Define specific legal practice areas such as Intellectual Property, Privacy, or Compliance. Assign categories to these areas and designate legal department users as practice area leads.
- Legal Catalog Categories: Organize legal services into catalog categories for easier navigation by employees on the Legal Service Portal. Upgrade users should run a fix script to map new record producers correctly.
- Record Producers for Legal Requests: Create or modify intake forms (record producers) in the Classic environment. These forms enable employees to submit various legal service requests via the Legal Operations service catalog.
- External Storage Configuration: Set up an external storage system to centralize document management and retention for legal requests and matters, ensuring secure handling of attachments by requesters and fulfillers.
- Response Templates: Configure reusable message templates linked to legal service tables. These templates help legal fulfillers send consistent and prompt responses through work notes, comments, emails, or chat, with options to use field variables and condition-based availability.
- Email Notifications: Create or modify notifications triggered by key events such as request assignment, closure, cancellation, or when additional information is requested, keeping users informed throughout the request lifecycle.
- Form Layout Customization: Enhance Legal Content Review request forms by adding related lists such as the Legal Disposition table to track outcomes efficiently.
- Application Installation: Install the Legal Content Review application (snlgcontreview) with admin privileges. This includes demo data and related ServiceNow Store applications/plugins to support functionality.
- Post-Installation Configuration: Reconfigure forms to incorporate new content review record producers, catalog categories, and content taxonomy to leverage the latest features.

Configure the foundation data to provide Legal Content Review request services to employees who can use these services to submit requests to the legal department.
- Create or modify a practice area
- Set up the practice areas specific to law practices such as Intellectual Property, Privacy, or Compliance. Associate categories to the practice area and assign a legal department user as the practice area lead.
- Create or modify a legal catalog category
- Create catalog categories to group legal services that employees can use to find a specific legal service request on the Legal Service Portal.
If you are an existing user and upgrading the application, run the Fix Content Review Intake Form fix script to map the new Legal Content Review record producer to the content review category.
- Create or modify a record producer for legal services through Classic environment
- Create record producers to define the intake forms for Legal Content Review request services. These record producers are available in the Legal Operations service catalog on the Legal Service Portal. Employees can use them to submit legal service requests.
- Configure an external storage system for legal requests and legal matters
- Configure an external storage system to store documents attached to the Legal Content Review requests by the requester or the fulfiller to enable your organization to have a centralized documentation management and retention policy.
- Create or modify a response template for legal services
- Configure a response template with a reusable message that legal fulfillers can use to send users quick and consistent messages through work notes, comments, emails, or chat conversations.
Each response template is associated with a table and can be configured to include field variables from that table. You can use a condition builder to specify the conditions that a Legal Content Review request must meet for the template to be usable through the configured channels. For example, you can define a condition to enable response templates only for Legal Content Review requests of type marketing presentation.
For chat response templates, you can specify a short name that can be used as a shortcut to present the response message to a user quickly.
- Create an email notification
- Create or modify email notifications that are sent when specific events occur for example, when a request is assigned, closed, or canceled, or a message has been posted to request additional information.
- Configuring the form layout
- To track dispositions from Legal Content Review requests, add the Legal Disposition [sn_lg_ops_legal_disposition] table as a related list to any Legal Content Review Request form. For more information on adding a related list on a form, see Add a related list to a form.
