Team ID NM2025TMID00161
Project Name Laptop Request Catalog Item
Maximum Marks 4 Marks
Technical Architecture:
The deliverable includes the architectural diagram and supporting details in Table 1 and Table 2.
This architecture represents how the Laptop Request Catalog Item in ServiceNow enables employees to request laptops efficiently
through an automated workflow.
Example: Laptop Request Catalog Item
Guidelines:
Include all ServiceNow processes (catalog item
creation, UI policy, UI action, update set).
Show infrastructure separation — Local
Instance and Cloud Instance.
Indicate external interfaces (email approvals,
notifications).
Highlight data storage in the ServiceNow
database.
Represent automation scripts for dynamic form
behavior.
Show deployment flow of update sets between
instances.
Table-1 : Components & Technologies:
[Link] Component Description Technology
1 User Interface Employees submit laptop requests through the ServiceNow Service Catalog UI
Service Catalog form in ServiceNow.
2 Application Logic-1 Handles creation of the catalog item and captures all ServiceNow Catalog Item Configuration
request variables.
3 Application Logic-2 Applies dynamic visibility and mandatory rules (e.g., Catalog UI Policy, Client Script
“Accessories Details” field).
4 Application Logic-3 Allows users to reset the form using a custom UI JavaScript (Client-side)
Action script.
5 Database Stores catalog item details, variable values, and user ServiceNow Tables (sc_cat_item,
submissions. sc_item_option, sc_request)
6 Cloud Database Maintains data securely in the ServiceNow cloud ServiceNow Cloud Database
environment.
7 File Storage Stores update set XML files for migration across Internal ServiceNow File Storage
instances.
8 External API-1 (Optional) Email notification or approval integration. ServiceNow Notification API
9 External API-2 (Optional) Integration with asset management for REST API in ServiceNow
tracking laptop inventory.
