• Once a catalog item has been requested, the mechanism that determines the approvals and tasks that are triggered in the application is the flow12.
• A flow is a graphical representation of a business process that consists of one or more actions, such as approvals, tasks, notifications, scripts, etc., that are executed based on certain conditions and triggers12.
• A flow can be associated with a catalog item to define the fulfillment process for that item, such as who needs to approve it, what tasks need to be performed, and what notifications need to be sent12.
• A flow can be created and managed using the Flow Designer, a low-code development tool that allows users to design and test flows without writing any code12.
• A flow can be activated or deactivated, versioned, and published to make it available for use12.
• A flow can be monitored and debugged using the Flow Execution Details and the Flow Logs12. References:

• Classes are represented as tables in the ServiceNow database that define the attributes and relationships of a specific type of record1
• The base asset class is the alm_asset table, which contains the common fields and properties for all types of assets, such as hardware, software, consumable, etc.2
• The alm_asset table is extended by other asset classes, such as alm_hardware, alm_software, alm_consumable, etc., which add more specific fields and properties for each asset type2
• The cmdb_asset table is not a class, but a view that joins the alm_asset table and the cmdb_ci table, which is the base configuration item (CI) class3
• The cmdb_hardware table is a CI class, not an asset class, that contains the common fields and properties for all types of hardware CIs, such as computers, devices, network equipment, etc.4

• A is correct because opting out of the ServiceNow Content Service for specific models means that the customer does not share unnormalized software installation data with ServiceNow for those models. Therefore, the customer does not receive automatic content updates based on their unique software installation footprint for those models. This may result in lower software recognition rates and less accurate asset inventory and compliance reports12
• B is not correct because opting out of the ServiceNow Content Service for specific models does not affect the sharing of unnormalized software installation data for other models. The customer still receives automatic content updates for those models that are not opted out12
• C is not correct because opting out of the ServiceNow Content Service for specific models does not change the encryption status of the unnormalized software installation data. The data is always encrypted before being sent to the ServiceNow Content Service, regardless of whether the customer opts out or not13
• D is not correct because opting out of the ServiceNow Content Service for specific models does not prevent the customer from receiving Content Library updates. The customer still receives weekly updates of the Content Library, which contains mapping rules and patterns for software and hardware recognition. However, the updates may be less applicable to the customer’s unique software and hardware installation footprint for the models that are opted out12

• Hardware model normalization is a feature that enables users to normalize the details, such as manufacturer, product, model, and device type, of their hardware and consumable models1.
• Hardware model normalization uses the data from the Hardware Model Normalization Content Service, which is a cloud-based service that provides standardized information for thousands of hardware models1.
• The key attribute in the model record that hardware model normalization uses to normalize inconsistent manufacturers and product names is the model number12.
• The model number is a unique identifier for a specific product or model that is assigned by the manufacturer12. It is based on the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC), which is a global classification system for products and services23.
• Hardware model normalization compares the model number of the model record with the model number of the Hardware Model Normalization Content Service record and updates the model record with the normalized information, such as display name, manufacturer, product, and device type12.
• The other options are not the key attribute that hardware model normalization uses to normalize inconsistent manufacturers and product names. The asset tag, the display name, the model category, and the asset tracking unit are either not unique or not based on the UNSPSC.

• According to the Hardware Asset Management page, the three tiers of Lifecycle Management are:
• These three tiers correspond to the options C, D, and E in the question.
• The options A and B are not part of the Lifecycle Management framework, and are not mentioned in the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documents. References:

• To prevent normalization information for a specific hardware model from being sent to the ServiceNow Content Service, you need to select the Exclude from content service check box on the Normalization tab of the hardware model record1.
• The ServiceNow Content Service is a cloud-based service that provides normalized data for hardware and consumable models. It helps you to keep your model data consistent and up to date2.
• The other options are not valid ways to exclude a hardware model from the content service. There is no Exclude or Opt-out button on the hardware model record. There is also no Opt-out from content service check box on the Normalization tab of the hardware model record. References: 1: Work with hardware normalization 2: ServiceNow Content Service
