Uploading an Attachment to an Incident

Junos Space Service Now provides the Upload Attachment option on the Actions list to upload a file, for example, a text, image, or binary file, as an attachment to an incident. Only one file can be uploaded at a time. To upload more than one file, compress the files and upload.

The attachment is stored in Service Now if the incident is not submitted to JSS. If a case is already created for the incident, the attachment, when uploaded to the incident is automatically uploaded to the case as well. An attachment that is uploaded to Service Now can be viewed on the View JMB page of the incident.

1. On the Service Now navigation tree, select Service Central > Incidents.

   The Incidents page appears.

2. Select an incident for which you want to upload an attachment.
3. From the Actions list, select Upload Attachments. Alternatively, right-click the incident and select Upload Attachments.

   The Upload Attachment dialog box appears as shown in figure.
