ServiceNow FAQs
A broader implementation of ServiceNow, our common service management platform, went live on July 9, 2016. You can access the latest implementation of ServiceNow at http://uofu.service-now.com.
You will need to authenticate by logging in with your uNID and CIS password to access ServiceNow.
Below are some of the most common issues users have been experiencing as they work within the new platform. This list will be updated as issues are resolved or arise.
If you are having difficulty viewing your tickets in ServiceNow, make sure that you have accessed the live site, not the staging site. Please update your bookmarks as necessary.
Incident tickets in ServiceDesk that were open and active in the last three weeks have been migrated into ServiceNow. All new incidents, problems, and changes need to be entered into the new version of ServiceNow.
If you are not seeing an incident you expect to see in ServiceNow, please contact:
- Main campus: UIT Help Desk (801-581-4000 or helpdesk@utah.edu)
- Hospitals and Clinics: ITS Service Desk (801-587-6000 or servicedesk@hsc.utah.edu)
Requests for Change (RFCs) were not moved over. All current RFCs will remain and can be managed in the previous tool.
IMPORTANT: ServiceDesk tickets that used the "Request" type were not copied into the new system. If you can complete those requests before the end of July, you can manage and complete those tickets inside ServiceDesk. Otherwise, use the "General Request" form to recreate the request inside ServiceNow.
Many of the group names have changed. Contact your designated Help Desk if you are not seeing a group or have questions about a group name.
You may not see your incident ticket(s) because your view is incorrect.
