General Settings

Required Fields

These fields must be configured to run the Enforcement Set.

• Use stored credentials from the ServiceNow adapter - Select this option to use the first connected ServiceNow adapter credentials.
  NOTE

  To use this option, you must successfully configure a ServiceNow adapter connection.

Additional Fields

• Additional fields - Specify additional fields to be added as part of the ServiceNow asset as key/value pairs in JSON format. For example: {"field1": "value1", "field2": "value2"}. You can also use functions within the field value either by themselves or embedded within larger text strings. In this example, the {{CURRENT_DATE}} function is embedded into the field value for the field Date of Update:
  

  • Use the {{CURRENT_DATE}} function to add the current date:
    • Using {{CURRENT_DATE}} with no format codes is the same as using the format codes: %B %d, %Y. This produces a date string like this: August 09, 2022.
    • Use format codes to specify a date format. For example, in the string AX VM Update - {{CURRENT_DATE:%m/%d/%Y}}, the %m/%d/%Y format codes will be replaced with 08/09/2022. The full string will be AX VM Update - 08/09/2022. The available format codes are described here: Format Codes.

• Do not map default Axonius fields - Select whether to map the set of default Axonius fields to the ServiceNow asset.

  • If enabled, default Axonius fields will not be mapped to the ServiceNow asset.
  • If disabled, default Axonius fields will be mapped to the ServiceNow asset. For details, see Default Field Mapping.

• Map Axonius fields to adapter fields - Use the Field Mapping Wizard to map Axonius fields to fields in external systems. In this way you can transfer data found in Axonius into the external system as part of the configuration of relevant enforcement actions. The wizard shows you which fields exist on the Axonius system, allowing you to map them easily.

  For details, see Axonius to External Field Mapping.
