Configuring Global Settings
Service Now global settings allow you to do the following:
- Set the amount of information about your device configuration included in a JMB. The default is set to Send All Information to ensure that JTAC has access to the information needed to productively work on your technical support case.
- Set the interval to scan devices for informational JMBs.
- Set the SMTP server (IP address/ hostname).
- Verify Service Now to JSS connection status.
To configure Service Now Global settings:
- From the Service Now task ribbon, select Administration > Global Settings. The Global Setting page is displayed.

- Add your Service Now settings. For a description of the Global Setting page fields see Table 2.
- Click Test Connection. The connection to JSS is tested and the result is displayed as JSS Connection Status.
- Click Submit. This action saves the Service Now settings that you specified and updates the Service Now service with these new settings.
