• Incident Description. Populate this field with the basic reason for incident generation. Please note, this configuration field supports the use of percent variables and is populated by default upon initial configuration of a new action with relevant data using applicable percent variables, though it can be modified if needed.
• Incident Comments. Populate this field with the salient content you want to include with the incident record. This configuration field also supports the use of percent variables and is populated by default with relevant data.
• Add Incident Link. Enable this option to create a hyperlink under the applicable device properties and device status dashboard pointing to the incident record.
• Additional incident settings (JSON format). Populate this field with JSON code to make specific ServiceNow incident fields required. Example: If your organization requires new ServiceNow incidents to be created with impact and priority set at creation time, the Additional incident settings field would include the following:{ "impact":"1", "priority":"2" }Please note, the value of 1 for impact and 2 for priority are only examples. Consult your ServiceNow administrator for values applicable to your specific needs.
