Reference: ITAM Capability Blueprint (ServiceNow ITAM Guide).
What is the second tier of the capability blueprint?
E
Explanation:
The second tier of the capability blueprint in ServiceNow is Practical Management, focusing on
managing operational tasks efficiently while aligning with strategic goals. It bridges the gap between
foundational and advanced asset capabilities.

dashboard? (Choose 2 answers)
C,F

The lifecycle management tab provides details about the normalization status, models nearing end of
life, and lease end timelines. Expenditure by vendor and pending purchase orders are unrelated to
lifecycle tracking and would typically be found in financial reports or procurement dashboards.

Populating CMDB tables using import sets can inadvertently result in duplicate configuration items
(CIs). To minimize this duplication, you can apply what process to the import sets?
C
Explanation:
The Identification and Reconciliation process in ServiceNow ensures that configuration items (CIs)
are correctly matched during the import process. This prevents duplication by validating unique
identifiers, such as serial numbers or UUIDs, ensuring CMDB integrity.
Reference: CMDB Data Reconciliation Practices (ServiceNow CMDB guide).
What does the depreciation effective date hold imply on the depreciation tab?
C
Explanation:
The depreciation effective date captures the residual value, representing the estimated value of an
asset at the end of its useful life. This value is essential in determining the depreciation cost over
time. For hardware assets, managing depreciation accurately ensures proper financial tracking.
Reference: Asset depreciation calculations in ServiceNow (ServiceNow Financial Management
guide).
What is required to manage utilization of the Hardware Asset Management Content Service?
C
Explanation:
Managing the Hardware Asset Management (HAM) Content Service involves enabling the service
explicitly (opting in). Organizations can choose to enable it for receiving updates about normalized
hardware models and lifecycle information. If the service is not needed anymore, it allows opting out
at any time, providing flexibility for organizations.
