According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation, an asset record should track the following information:

Financial information: This includes the cost, depreciation, and residual value of the asset. This information helps to calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI) of the asset.

Contractual information: This includes the warranty, support, lease, and maintenance contracts associated with the asset. This information helps to manage the lifecycle of the asset and ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the contracts.

Other information that can be tracked in an asset record are:

Physical resources: This includes the location, status, and condition of the asset. This information helps to monitor the inventory and availability of the asset.

Operational details: This includes the configuration, performance, and usage of the asset. This information helps to optimize the functionality and efficiency of the asset.

Logical relationships: This includes the dependencies, associations, and impacts of the asset. This information helps to understand the connections and interactions of the asset with other assets, services, and processes.

According to the Now Create ebook, the Now Create methodology consists of five phases: initiate, plan, execute, deliver, and close. Each phase has a specific purpose, outcome, and set of tasks that guide the project team to successful delivery. The other options are not valid phases of the Now Create methodology.

According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation, the system property glide.ham.retire_sw() determines the behavior of software allocations when a hardware asset is retired. The possible values are:

•Reclaim: The software allocations are automatically returned to inventory and the software installation records are deleted.

•Retain: The software allocations remain with the hardware asset and need to be reclaimed manually.

•Remove: The software allocations are removed from the asset, but not returned to inventory.

According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation, a business rule is a server-side script that runs when a record is displayed, inserted, updated, or deleted, or when a table is queried. Business rules can be used to enforce data consistency and integrity, such as preventing duplicate transfers of the same asset. The other options are not valid terms in ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management.

A transfer order is a document that records the movement of assets from one location to another1.

A transfer order line is a record that specifies the quantity and type of assets to be transferred1.

When you cancel a transfer order line, the associated assets are released from the transfer order and their state changes from Pre-allocated to Available1.

The released assets can then be attached to another transfer order or used for other purposes1. References:

The Normalization Data Services Client plugin enables you to use the Normalization Data Services (NDS) to provide consistent, good, clean data for the company names of vendors or manufacturers12.

The NDS is a cloud-based service that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date list of canonical company names for vendors and manufacturers, as well as other data such as product categories, models, and versions12.

The NDS helps you to avoid data duplication, inconsistency, and inaccuracy in your CMDB and asset management processes12.

The NDS integrates with the Hardware Model Normalization plugin, which standardizes the details of your hardware models by comparing them with the data from the Hardware Model Normalization Content Service13.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. Normalization Data Services Client (com.glide.data_services_canonicalization.client), as this is the plugin that offers consistent, good, clean data for the company names of vendors or manufacturers.

Transform maps are used to transform imported hardware model data from an import set table to a target table, such as the Product Catalog or the Asset table1

Coalesce is an option that you can set on a field mapping to uniquely identify the same asset in order to merge or update records2

Coalesce means that the field is used as a unique key. If a match is found using the coalesce field, the existing record is updated with the imported information. If no match is found, a new record is inserted2

Coalesce helps to prevent duplicate records and ensure data consistency2

You can set coalesce on one or more fields in a transform map, but at least one coalesce field is required2

The other options, B. Consolidate, C. Unique identifier, D. Unique source, E. Unique target, and F. Combine, are not valid options for setting the unique identification of assets in transform maps
