Question 2

An implementation specialist is configuring Knowledge Management integration with ServiceNow Communities. What is the primary purpose of enabling community question-to-article workflows in a CSM environment?

Question 4

An implementation specialist is configuring SLA definitions for a CSM portal. Which TWO factors should the specialist consider when deciding whether to use an SLA Workflow versus modern SLA Email Notifications? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Modern SLA Notifications are easier to maintain for simple email alerts at specific percentages without building full workflow graphs.. SLA workflows provide advanced branching and task creation, while modern SLA notifications offer simpler email configurations without complex workflow maintenance.

Answer

SLA Workflows are mandatory for all CSM implementations starting in Vancouver.

Answer

SLA Workflows can only be attached to Incident tables and cannot be used with CSM Cases.

Answer

Modern SLA Notifications execute faster because they bypass the workflow engine entirely.

Question 5

A support organization has noticed that community users are frequently asking questions that are already answered in published Knowledge base articles. To maximize case deflection via community content, what primary feature should the administrator integrate with the community search?

Accepted Answer

AI Search with configured Genius Results and Result Sources spanning both Knowledge and Communities. Intelligent Search configuration allows communities to leverage AI Search to surface both community threads and Knowledge articles, maximizing case deflection.

Answer

Email notifications triggered upon every forum post creation

Answer

Connect Support queues directly to the community homepage widget

Answer

Automated Incident Creation business rules on the sn_communities_content table

Question 6

Which SLA stage indicates that the SLA has successfully met its stop condition before the breach time?

Accepted Answer

Completed. Completed is the stage assigned when an SLA stops successfully.

Answer

Cancelled

Answer

Breached

Answer

Achieved

Question 7

Which TWO methods can be used to apply a custom business schedule to a CSM SLA Definition? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Selecting a predefined schedule directly in the Schedule field on the SLA Definition record.. Schedules can be selected directly on the SLA definition or determined dynamically via script/schedule source fields.

Answer

Hardcoding business hours directly into the SLA workflow JavaScript activities.

Answer

Writing a client script that injects calendar hours into the browser DOM.

Answer

Modifying the default system timezone property in basic settings.

Question 8

An organization wants to trigger a notification to the CSM manager immediately when a Case SLA reaches 75% of its allotted time without being met. Which feature of the SLA engine should be utilized?

Accepted Answer

SLA Percentage Timers or SLA stages configuration. SLA percentages and thresholds are managed via SLA Percentage Timer or SLA workflow milestones, specifically configured using SLA plugin features like SLA Workflows or breach thresholds.

Answer

SLA Properties set in Service Level Management properties

Answer

SLA Workflow with a Workflow Timer set to 75%

Answer

Data Policy enforcing notification fields at 75%

Question 9

A CSM manager reports that SLA breach reports are inaccurate because cancelled cases are still showing as 'Breached' in historical reporting. How can an administrator correct this for existing records and prevent it moving forward?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the task state change to Cancelled triggers the Task SLA cancellation logic, and update past records via batch script.. SLA engine configuration or retroactive cleanup, but ensuring task cancellation correctly cancels active SLAs resolves future cases.

Answer

Manually update every past task_sla record using a background script.

Answer

Delete all breached records from the task_sla table.

Question 10

An administrator is configuring a complex SLA workflow for high-severity CSM cases. The workflow needs to send a notification when 75% of the SLA duration has elapsed. Which activity should be used in the SLA workflow to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

SLA Percentage Timer activity. In SLA workflows, the SLA Percentage Timer activity is designed specifically to pause workflow execution until a designated percentage (e.g., 75%) of the SLA time has elapsed.

Answer

SLA Breach Notification workflow action

Answer

Wait for condition activity evaluating task_sla.percentage

Answer

Standard Timer activity set to dynamic calculation
