ServiceNow Integrations 1
With the Workspace ONE UEM integrations with ServiceNow, you can resolve issues quicker and
make data-driven decisions based on a wide range of data sets. This topic describes integrating
Workspace ONE UEM ServiceNow CMDB and the ITSM Connector for ServiceNow to improve
efficiency for helpdesk and support organizations

Integration with ServiceNow CMDB
ServiceNow CMDB (Configuration Management Database) gives visibility into users’ devices and
apps for specific incidents. This visibility gives helpdesk administrators a better understanding
of the incident and speeds remediation. With ServiceNow CMDB, you can store contextual
information relevant to your users or assets

Using the ServiceNow Service Graph connector for Workspace ONE UEM, you can populate
the device and the application data into the ServiceNow CMDB enabling asset tracking and IT
Operations Management (ITOM) Visibility. Imported device details in ServiceNow CMDB include
important hardware information, user details, and management status. Application details include
application name and identifiers, installation statuses, and more

Use this data within ServiceNow to find device and app details. Helpdesk users include the details
for managing tickets and reconciling deployed assets and warranty statuses with procurement

Integration with the ITSM Connector for ServiceNow
Helpdesk and support organizations face challenges with managing and using multiple tools
efficiently. The Workspace ONE UEM ITSM (IT Service Management) connector for ServiceNow
helps teams manage these tools

Before an integration, a support ticket is raised within ServiceNow when encountering an issue
ion a device or by an employee. The helpdesk or the support administrator reviews the issue
within ServiceNow. Then, they navigate to Workspace ONE UEM for further troubleshooting,
remote support, and issue remediation. This frequent switching between multiple systems, while
keeping them all in sync with the necessary troubleshooting notes and updates, is inefficient and
an annoyance

VMware, Inc. 4
VMware Workspace One UEM Integration with ServiceNow
With the seamless integration within ServiceNow for Workspace ONE UEM and Workspace ONE
Assist, you can simplify Support workflows and increase efficiency. Using the Workspace ONE
UEM ITSM Connector for ServiceNow, the helpdesk or the support administrators can access
Workspace ONE UEM and Workspace ONE Assist actions from within the ServiceNow portal
without navigating to the Workspace ONE UEM console or authenticating multiple systems

Using the Workspace ONE ITSM Connector for ServiceNow
The VMware Workspace ONE ITSM Connector for ServiceNow provides the ability to perform
Workspace ONE UEM and Assist actions from within ServiceNow. This topic covers using the ITSM
Connector for ServiceNow

A new Workspace ONE UEM tab is added to the Incident page when the WS1UEMStandard or the
WS1UEMAdvanced role is assigned to the administrator

A Workspace ONE UEM Action drop-down menu displays on the Workspace ONE UEM tab for
the support administrator. The support administrator can perform an action from the drop-down
menu on the configuration item (CI) or device assigned to the incident. The configuration item
or device assigned to the incident should be enrolled within Workspace ONE UEM to perform
Workspace ONE UEM actions on the device

Note Actions are only successful if the attached device corresponds to a device in Workspace
ONE UEM. This match is verified by serial number, along with an email address validation of the
caller against the assigned user in Workspace ONE UEM

The Workspace ONE Action tab and actions are enabled if the Incident status is In Progress, and
a caller and a configuration item are assigned to the incident. The Action tab and actions are
disabled for other Incident statuses

The Notes tab in ServiceNow Incidents records all successful actions performed on the device
when audit capability is configured during the guided setup. The note details the time, action, and
the ServiceNow user that performed the action

A Workspace ONE UEM Console button appears on the Incidents page if the Workspace ONE
ConsoleViewer role is configured. When the support administrator opens the console, they can
navigate to advanced troubleshooting. If the configuration item is not associated with the Incident,
or the Device is not available within ServiceNow, then the support administrator can use the
Workspace ONE UEM button to log in to the Workspace ONE UEM console and perform further
troubleshooting

For an action to be successful, the serial number of the configuration item in ServiceNow must
match the device serial number of the device in Workspace ONE UEM
