Configuring AWS tags for provisioned products

The AWS Service Management Connector enables ServiceNow administrators to add tags (metadata) to provisioned products globally across the scoped app or granularly at the portfolio level. These tags are not visible to end users.

Three tag types are available in this release:

• Generic tags in which the administrator can enter the key and value.

• ServiceNow Request Item tags in which the admin can enter the syntax for Key and Value in the table below.

• ServiceNow table(s) values that end users can select as tags for provisioned AWS resources. This release now enables administrators to identify any ServiceNow tables, such as Cost center or Department, and makes values from that table selectable for end users.

  Note

  Generic tags (from administrators) and ServiceNow Request Item tags are not viewable by end users.

  Key	Value
  Requested Item Number	${REQUEST_NUMBER}
  User	${USERNAME}
  Requested for	${REQUESTED_FOR}
  Opened by	${OPENED_BY}

To add tags to AWS provisioned products from ServiceNow tables and fields that are selectable by end users
