Assignment Rule Lookup

A ssignment rules allow you to specify conditions for which a particular assignment group and/or assigned to person should be assigned to work on a particular task. Assignment rules work fine, but as I’ve worked with clients I’ve come across some common scenarios that can’t be solved with the out-of-box setup. The primary issue with assignment rules is that they only run as a record is submitted and they only run if an assignment has not been made already to the ticket being saved. Along with this, most organizations I’ve worked with choose to make the ‘Assignment group’ field mandatory. Because of this, the person working the ticket always has to make some sort of assignment before saving the record (meaning that the assignment rules never get run). I learned how to work around this issue on one of my very first Service-now implementations and I almost always implement this solution as part of any Incident Management rollout. The out-of-box assignment rules are documented here . This article shows how you can apply the same customizations to your Service-now implementation that I use for my clients. This entire customization has also been packaged into an ‘Assignment Rule Lookup’ update set to save time in implementing.

This customization includes the following features:

  • Easy to view and manage lookup table for common assignments
  • Dynamic lookup/population of assignment values as you work on the Incident form

The first step in applying this customization is to create an assignment lookup table that can store all of the different combinations of values used to determine assignments. The update set includes this table for you (which can be managed from the ‘System Policy -> Assignment lookup’ module). Security setup for this table is also included, but is not documented in this article.

Once the ‘Assignment lookup’ table is created and populated, we need to create an assignment rule that can query that table and return assignments based on the information found. You can create a new assignment rule by navigating to ‘System Policy -> Assignment’. I usually set my assignment rule up with a very low order value and a condition that ensures it will always get evaluated. The assignment rule provided in the update set has the following settings…

The final step is to configure the ability to have assignments populate as fields on the form get changed. In order to accomplish this, we create an ‘onChange’ client script with the following settings…

Name: AJAX Assignment (Category) Table: Incident Type: onChange Field name: Category Script:

This is a great functionality and would help a lot. However, I have a few questions which I am hoping you can help me with. I am dealing with a customer who has more than a few hundred assignment rules, so I built them a template where they can import their assignment rules rather than creating one by one. The conditions get to be imported fine, but they do not reference back to the actual values of the Category/subcategory. My questions are:

1- Is there a way to do this through script to make a look of to those condition reference fields?!

2- Does SN/you have any better suggestion in such a cases(many assignment rule) and how to deal with them easily?!

I would really appreciate any comments/feedback you may have.

Here is an example of the template:

Name Table Match conditions Group User Execution Order Conditions

Rule 01 incident All CAI 100 u_category=Communications^u_subcategory=Voice Mail^u_activity_issue=Power Failure^EQ

I hope I’m understanding everything from your comment, but my recommendation is to use the solution above. The way that it works makes it so that you really only have 1 assignment rule per table. You just make the condition on the assignment rule generic enough so that it always gets run for a particular table. One of the benefits of this solution is that you don’t have to worry about all of the different conditions…you just set those conditions up in your lookup table and the assignment rule just queries that table to get its answer…

So, for the example you provided, I would have an assignment lookup record with a category, subcategory, and activity issue defined (along with the assignment group and person to return). When my assignment rule script hits that record you’ll return the correct assignments from it…all with just a single assignment rule for the entire incident table.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I didn’t see your comment until now and sorry for being late. Your solution is wonderful, however I have made several customization to the client instance which will make it difficult to use this. This customer has more that 1500 choices of category/subcat/activity/issue, and needed to filter the CI base on the combination choice of these CTIs. Therefore,we had to design a separate incident classification table where it would filter the list of available CIs base on the cat/subcat choices. Thsi means on the incident table we do not point at sys_choices table and instead make a look up into this table”incident classification”. Having that said, how do you think I can use the assignment rules and building them with this complexity. Thank you for your time in advance.

I honestly don’t have any idea based on what you’ve described. With that kind of complexity, I can almost guarantee that the simplest route would be to do some sort of lookup from a single assignment rule script that would handle everything. Based on my experience, I would never go down the route of having multiple different assignment rules per table again. I’m not sure what the necessary script configuration would be for your client though.

Matthew, I’ve removed your last comment with your script. If you have custom modifications that you’ve made and you need help with some script debugging then you’ll need to ask on the Service-now forums. It’s simply not something I can support to debug custom scripts for people who make changes to this solution.

This solution allowed me to reduce 21 assignment rules to 1 for one of my tables. It was easy to install and easy to modify for a different table and field names. Thanks Mark.

That’s great to hear Jim! Thanks for commenting.

I just found (and fixed) an issue with this functionality that only happens in Internet Explorer. If you have previously set up assignment rules using the article above or the associated update set you’ll want to update any ‘AJAX Assignment’ client scripts in your instances with the new code from the ‘AJAX Assignment Client Script’ section above.

This is an “old” posting, but man I have to hand it to you, Mark. This is easily one of my favorites. Especially when a client asks for this to be extended to custom fields. You’ve designed this perfectly for easy extension. I just added a third Choice (“sub-sub-category”) as well as a True/False checkbox to Incident that are both used in the Assignment process. I was able to simply add the columns to the lookup, copy/paste some code from the Rule and I was on my way! Thanks for kicking butt on this stuff as usual.

Wow. Thanks for the props! I’m glad somebody showed this solution to me right when I got started at Service-now. It’s saved me more than once too. I’m glad to hear it’s not too difficult to work with.

HI Mark…

how we need to do the same for service catalog requests.

We have multiple locations and all the requests should go to their own contry service desk reps. How can i create a rule for service requests based up on country or location.

That would depend completely on your specific setup. Typically, requests and request items aren’t assigned to groups at all. It’s the tasks underneath those items that get assigned. If you are doing direct request assignments for some reason, you would not need a solution like I’ve described here. You would probably just need a standard assignment rule script that would get the ‘requested_for’ person’s location and then query for the group in that location. Groups don’t have locations out-of-box so that script would depend entirely on your system setup. In the end, your assignment rule script would need to set the assignment group like this…

Thank you Mark.

We have some cases where we need to assign some request directly to the groups.

Y es i just went through the catalogog assignment and went through the fulfillment groups.and sure that had helped me a lot am working on creating the fulfillment groups and make those task work with the required groups.

Thats works….and thank you very much for your reply.

Hi Mark, i am trying to apply this solution for change request module but it is not working. 1- I created u_assignment_lookup2 2- I created fields as per u_assignment_lookup within u_assignment_lookup2 table 3- I created client scrips for category, subcategory and cmdb_ci and for each script i changed incidents by change_request var url = “xmlhttp.do?sysparm_processor=AJAXAssignment&sys_target=change_request”; 4- I added a record in the u_assignment_lookup2 table tested but did not work, any clue? regards,

Based on this list it looks like you’re missing the actual assignment rule for the change request table.

i forgot it. i created a assignment rule called assignment lookup rule related to the change_request table. in this rule i change the first line only to be: var lookup = new GlideRecord(‘u_assignment_lookup2’);

regards, max

I’ve implemented assignment lookup on incident. It work great ! thanks. I’m trying to implement the same system on the catalog task table (sc_task). I’ve create the Assignment lookup rule script on the sc_task table.

My problem is that this script is not called by the “AJAX Assignment (…)” client scripts that I’ve create on the sc_task form. The only modification I do on these script is to change the name on the table from after //Construct the URL to ask the server for the assignment var url = “xmlhttp.do?sysparm_processor=AJAXAssignment&sys_target=incident”; to var url = “xmlhttp.do?sysparm_processor=AJAXAssignment&sys_target=sc_task”;

Could you give me an advise on what to do more to make assignment lookup work on sc_task table ? (I see that the “Assignment lookup rule” is not called because I put a gs.log that didn’t appear in the log after execution of the sevveral steps…)

Thanks in advance,

That’s the only modification you need to make. The rest should be identical to the incident setup. In general, you need 3 things to make this setup work though… 1) An ‘onChange’ client script on the table you want to make assignments on. You need to make sure that you’re changing the field that corresponds to the ‘onChange’ client script. 2) An assignment rule for your new table. This assignment rule should be identical to the one used for incident. 3) An assignment lookup record that tells the assignment rule which category, subcategory, and CI should trigger the assignment.

You have to remember with all of these that the incident setup only cares about category, subcategory, and CI. If you are using different fields on sc_task, then it isn’t going to work without some modifications in all 3 places. You can troubleshoot your client script by adding alert messages at various points. You can troubleshoot the assignment rule by adding ‘gs.addInfoMessage’ lines at various points.

Thanks a lot Mark it works fine !

I’ve implemented assignment lookup on incident. It work great ! thanks.

Hi Mark, It works now. I missed a little thing. Much appreciate it Max

Hi Mark, I know it’s an old post, but it’s really great! It works fine! But I wanted to populate another field, which is also a reference to the group (“information group”) so I added this field to the assignment lookup form, and this line “current.information_group = lookup.u_information_group;” to the assignment lookup rule. And finally I added this code to the Ajax assignment client script //Get the information_group ID and its display value and put then on the form var inf_group = item.getAttribute(“group”); var inf_group_label = item.getAttribute(“group_label”); if (inf_group_label != null && inf_group != null) g_form.setValue(‘information_group’, inf_group, inf_group_label); else g_form.setValue(‘information_group’, null);

But it doesn’t work, and I don’t understand why…

Hope you can help me! Thank you

Assignment rules only return a single user and group. If you want to populate any other piece of information then you’ll need to set it with a separate client script or template.

Thanks for your response, I will search for another solution

Good news is that (according to thwiki) the Berlin release will address the following: â– Define when to run an assignment rule: â– On form change (Allows assignment rules to apply to unsaved changes on a form) â– On record insert â– On record update â– Option to replace existing values (including default values)

The last item is good news …isn’t it?

This is all good news. All of these items are things that I helped to design before I left ServiceNow. It will be great to have this built in once Berlin ships.

I’m a big fan of this bit of code, I’ve used it lots of times.

I’m not a fan of using the data_lookup functionality available from Berlin onwards for this type of rule because the OOB Assignment Rules can be driven by much more criteria whilst being very simple to configure.

Can you tell me if there is a way to call the Assignment Rules from the server side? I’d like to use the same rules for setting the assignment whether the form is displayed or a record is being inserted by a Business Rule

They should work the same way, the only trick is that they won’t run unless the assignment fields are empty. I don’t know of a way to force them to run otherwise but you might be able to set up a business rule to perform a lookup against your custom table and do the same thing.

Assigned to and Assignment group

The Assigned to [assigned_to] field is a reference  field type that points to the Users [sys_user] table. This field is generally used to designate a user to work on, or be responsible for the task. By default, this field has a reference qualifier (role=itil) set on its dictionary record that prevents any non-itil user from being assigned to a task. You can override this reference qualifier on tables that extend task though, as the Project Task and Service Order tables do, if you have the relevant plugins installed.

The Assignment group [assignment_group] field serves pretty much the same purpose. The reason for having both, is that a workflow might automatically assign a certain type of task ticket to a group, ...

Group Assignments

Online teaching.

The nature of online courses can present challenges to collaboration.  Online group interaction and conversation don’t occur naturally, as they do in face-to-face classrooms.  Instead, collaboration must be planned and managed intentionally. 2  Many strategies in Group Work can apply to your online course, but here are some specific strategies for creating a successful online environment for group collaboration.

  • Make group work mandatory.  Clearly outline group work expectations in the syllabus, as well as in assignment instructions. 1
  • Provide plenty of advance notice for group assignments.  Online students, with their asynchronous scheduling, need more time to coordinate schedules, plan group work, and get used to working together. 1
  • Create a discussion forum for each group to have a space to talk about their assignment, to plan, and to share information and resources with each other. 1
  • Be responsive to group work.  Post comments, check in with groups for updates, or ask questions to let students know their work is not being ignored. 1
  • Choose your collaboration tools carefully, and consider how you will ask groups to submit their final work.  Depending on your assignment and learning outcomes, you could use discussion boards, blogs, wikis, or others. 2,3
  • Remember that all assignments should be based on your learning outcomes.  Make sure your assignment design and your choice of tools are best suited to your targeted learning outcomes. 2,4

Use Microsoft Entra groups to manage role assignments

  • 16 contributors

With Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2, you can create role-assignable groups and assign Microsoft Entra roles to these groups. This feature simplifies role management, ensures consistent access, and makes auditing permissions more straightforward. Assigning roles to a group instead of individuals allows for easy addition or removal of users from a role and creates consistent permissions for all members of the group. You can also create custom roles with specific permissions and assign them to groups.

Why assign roles to groups?

Consider the example where the Contoso company has hired people across geographies to manage and reset passwords for employees in its Microsoft Entra organization. Instead of asking a Privileged Role Administrator or Global Administrator to assign the Helpdesk Administrator role to each person individually, they can create a Contoso_Helpdesk_Administrators group and assign the role to the group. When people join the group, they're assigned the role indirectly. Your existing governance workflow can then take care of the approval process and auditing of the group's membership to ensure that only legitimate users are members of the group and are thus assigned the Helpdesk Administrator role.

How role assignments to groups work

To assign a role to a group, you must create a new security or Microsoft 365 group with the isAssignableToRole property set to true . In the Microsoft Entra admin center, you set the Microsoft Entra roles can be assigned to the group option to Yes . Either way, you can then assign one or more Microsoft Entra roles to the group in the same way as you assign roles to users.

Screenshot of the Roles and administrators page

Restrictions for role-assignable groups

Role-assignable groups have the following restrictions:

  • You can only set the isAssignableToRole property or the Microsoft Entra roles can be assigned to the group option for new groups.
  • The isAssignableToRole property is immutable . Once a group is created with this property set, it can't be changed.
  • You can't make an existing group a role-assignable group.
  • A maximum of 500 role-assignable groups can be created in a single Microsoft Entra organization (tenant).

How are role-assignable groups protected?

If a group is assigned a role, any IT administrator who can manage group membership could also indirectly manage the membership of that role. For example, assume that a group named Contoso_User_Administrators is assigned the User Administrator role. An Exchange administrator who can modify group membership could add themselves to the Contoso_User_Administrators group and in that way become a User Administrator. As you can see, an administrator could elevate their privilege in a way you didn't intend.

Only groups that have the isAssignableToRole property set to true at creation time can be assigned a role. This property is immutable. Once a group is created with this property set, it can't be changed. You can't set the property on an existing group.

Role-assignable groups are designed to help prevent potential breaches by having the following restrictions:

  • Only Global Administrators and Privileged Role Administrators can create a role-assignable group.
  • The membership type for role-assignable groups must be Assigned and can't be a Microsoft Entra dynamic group. Automated population of dynamic groups could lead to an unwanted account being added to the group and thus assigned to the role.
  • By default, only Global Administrators and Privileged Role Administrators can manage the membership of a role-assignable group, but you can delegate the management of role-assignable groups by adding group owners.
  • For Microsoft Graph, the RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory permission is required to be able to manage the membership of role-assignable groups. The Group.ReadWrite.All permission won't work.
  • To prevent elevation of privilege, only a Privileged Authentication Administrator or a Global Administrator can change the credentials or reset MFA or modify sensitive attributes for members and owners of a role-assignable group.
  • Group nesting isn't supported. A group can't be added as a member of a role-assignable group.

Use PIM to make a group eligible for a role assignment

If you don't want members of the group to have standing access to a role, you can use Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to make a group eligible for a role assignment. Each member of the group is then eligible to activate the role assignment for a fixed time duration.

For groups used for elevating into Microsoft Entra roles, we recommend that you require an approval process for eligible member assignments. Assignments that can be activated without approval can leave you vulnerable to a security risk from less-privileged administrators. For example, the Helpdesk Administrator has permission to reset an eligible user's passwords.

Scenarios not supported

The following scenarios aren't supported:

  • Assign Microsoft Entra roles (built-in or custom) to on-premises groups.

Known issues

The following are known issues with role-assignable groups:

  • Microsoft Entra ID P2 licensed customers only : Even after deleting the group, it is still shown an eligible member of the role in PIM UI. Functionally there's no problem; it's just a cache issue in the Microsoft Entra admin center.
  • Use the new Exchange admin center for role assignments via group membership. The old Exchange admin center doesn't support this feature. If accessing the old Exchange admin center is required, assign the eligible role directly to the user (not via role-assignable groups). Exchange PowerShell cmdlets work as expected.
  • If an administrator role is assigned to a role-assignable group instead of individual users, members of the group will not be able to access Rules, Organization, or Public Folders in the new Exchange admin center . The workaround is to assign the role directly to users instead of the group.
  • Azure Information Protection Portal (the classic portal) doesn't recognize role membership via group yet. You can migrate to the unified sensitivity labeling platform and then use the Microsoft Purview compliance portal to use group assignments to manage roles.

License requirements

Using this feature requires a Microsoft Entra ID P1 license. The Privileged Identity Management for just-in-time role activation requires a Microsoft Entra ID P2 license. To find the right license for your requirements, see Comparing generally available features of the Free and Premium editions .
