Handling Assignment Rules in ServiceNow

In ServiceNow, if one is looking for automatic assignments then he can rely on the instance’s ability to assign the tasks automatically to different users and groups depending on the specified conditions. In order to achieve this, ServiceNow has the following modules:
- Assignment Lookup Rules
- Assignment Rules
Assignment Lookup Rules:
This module appears under the ‘System Policy application’ menu. This table is basically generated out of the box as its definition is provided in the ‘Data Lookup Definition’ table in the instance, specifically for field assignments in the incident table. Assignment lookup rules mainly provide the functionality of changing any field value and not just the assignment fields.
Assignment Rules:
This module appears under the ‘System Policy application’ menu. It helps to automatically assign the tasks to a particular user or a particular group using the assigned_to and assignment_group fields respectively, depending on the specified set of conditions. One can define these assignment rules readily for their desired table.
Following are the steps for defining the assignment rule:
- Navigate to System Policy -> Assignment -> New

- From the above figure, one can see that the dot-walking can also be done in the condition builder field. Just select the ‘Show Related Fields’ option in the condition and then select the appropriate attribute.
- Further, in the ‘Assign To’ tab, select the appropriate user and group to whom the task is to be assigned.
If two assignment rules conflict, then the assignment rule with the lowest execution order runs first. The lower the execution order, the higher is the precedence.
Distinguishing Factors between the Data Lookup Rules and Assignment Rules:
Precedence among the assignment rule and business rule:.
In certain circumstances, the business rules gain precedence over the assignment rules.
The business rules and assignments rules run in the following order:
- All the ‘before record insert’ business rules having order less than 1000.
- First and foremost, assignment rule with lowest execution order and matching condition.
- All the ‘before record insert’ business rules having order more than 1000.
- All the ‘after record insert’ business rules.
We are pretty sure that this blog must have given an overview of dealing with Assignment Rules in ServiceNow.
Any comments\suggestions are most welcome. We have posted further blogs as well on other topics and will frequently come back with something innovative.

- Configuration Compliance
Define the criteria by which test results are automatically assigned to an assignment group for remediation.
A default assignment rule, Assign to CI support group , is included in the base system assigning test results to the CI Support Group . Inactive by default.
The Assignment groups set by the Assignment Rules are used by Group Rules to assign owners to test result groups (TRGs).
Assigning test results automatically
- Assignment group: This option allows you to select any of the existing Now Platform® user groups.
- None: Indicates no default value for this mandatory field
- Configuration Item: Approval Group
- Configuration Item: Assignment Group
- Configuration Item: Support Group
- Script: This option allows you to define the conditions using a script. This option requires coding or advanced ServiceNow® expertise.
With the sn_vulc.remediation_owner role, you can view and update test results and test result groups that are assigned to them or to their assignment groups. To view the modules, navigate to All > Configuration Compliance > Test Results > My Open Test Results , or Configuration Compliance > Test Result Groups > My Open Groups .
The sn_vulc.remediation_owner role can be assigned directly to a user, or, it is automatically assigned when you assign a user the itil role.
Assignment rule evaluation process
When a new test result is imported, or reopened after being closed, the assignment rules are evaluated against it. The assignment rules are evaluated after CI matching, and Risk Score calculations. A test result is only automatically evaluated upon initial import and when a rule is changed, unless it is reopened after being closed. You can manually reapply rules after changes.
- For each test result assignment rule, the test result is compared to the assignment filter, lowest order rule first.
- Where the condition matches, the test result is assigned an assignment group. The lookup stops.
- Where the conditions do not find a match among all the rules, the test result remains unassigned.
Reapplying assignment rules
Assignment rules and test result group assignment.
Usually, you would assign your test result group (TRG) to the same assignment group as the test results in it. That is what the test result group rules do, by default.
For example, if your TRG groups by configuration item class, the test result group created can be broken apart by the different assignment groups. An Oracle Database TRG can be assigned to Group 1, and an Oracle Database TRG assigned to Group 2.
When the assignment group is changed at the test result group level, all the test results in that group which have same assignment group are updated to the new assignment group. The test results are marked as manually assigned and are not eligible for further rule evaluation.

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.

Setting the Assignment group with Assignment Rules
Assignment Rules are a simpler alternative to Data Lookup. While Data Lookup is very powerful, allowing you to set any field, it does involve a quite a bit of configuration, including creating a new table.
In contrast, an Assignment Rule uses the simpler condition builder to specify when it should run. If it matches, then it'll either populate the Assigned to and Assignment group fields with a hardcoded value, or you can use a script. We have got the group we want to use in a property, so this option is perfect. Follow these steps:
- Name : Assign to External Team
- Table : Maintenance [x_hotel_maintenance] ...

Round Robin Assignment Rule ServiceNow

Please use below steps to implement Round Robin Assignment Rule
1. Add two custom fields to sys_user
- u_last_assigned_task (reference to Task)
- u_last_assigned_task_date (datetime)
When you add these fields, be sure to set the no_audit attribute to true .
2. Create an After Insert/Update Business Rule on the Task table. This rule will update sys_user to track the last time a task was assigned to a user. Because this is an "after" Business Rule, it will run after the assignment rules engine and any "before" rules. Use these conditions
- Assigned to changes
- Assigned to is not empty
The code is
3. Add a custom field field to sys_user_group
- u_round_robin_group (reference to sys_user_group)
If u_round_robin_group is empty, then this group is not participating in round-robin. If you want the group to round-robin through all members of the group, then set Round Robin Group to itself. If you want the group to round-robin through a subset of the group members, then create a special group whose only purpose is to hold the group members who participate in the round-robin. In other words, the group "XXX Round Robin" contains the members of "XXX" who are participating in the Round Robin. In our case the Round Robin Group would exclude the manager and anyone on vacation.
4. Create a Before Insert/Update Business rule on the Task table to do the actual Round Robin assignment. Note the "orderBy" in the code below, which is the key to making Round Robin work. This rule should have an order number greater than 1000 because it should run after the assignment rules engine as described here:
This Business Rule should run on these conditions
- Assignment group changes
- Assignment group is not empty
- Assignment group.Round Robin Group is not empty
- Assigned to is empty
