Excerpt

DCM R4.1 includes one very good addition to the audit, that being the "field level audit". Another great enhancement for managing and auditing the blueprints is the addition of "data domains". These data domains and tiers are used to group and manage blueprints and audit results.

This release also includes a Guided Setup for DCM.

Expected Release date: 3014.121.20192020


New Features

AreaFeatureDescription
Blueprint DesignerField level audit / Field setupThe first version of the "field-level audit" includes defining a field setup to a blueprint container that is then used to audit each attribute separately. A previously available "filter" on a container still remains and that is used to validate the records from a model point-of-view while field setup digs into deeper and reports possible deviation per attribute.
Blueprint DesignerData domains and tiers

New data domain and tier structures available to better manage the blueprints and audit results. Data domains should be used to split all data within ServiceNow into manageable "domains" and appoint responsible persons to own and manage those domains.

The basis for the tier and domain structures have been taken from the "Practical Data Model for CMDB" (PDMC) by Justin Group Oy. Read more about the PDMC from here.

AuditField level auditAudit runner now checks the field level audit setup and conditions when a container has field-level audit enabled. Deviations are reported per field condition while the compliant mark is only received when all listed fields are matching with the conditions.
