    • Client Secret: Your client secret recorded earlier

    • Search Queries: This has no default, you will need to create at least one query. Consult with your ServiceNow administrators to determine what table(s) your organization uses, and thus, what table(s), then add or edit the query or queries as needed by using the “pencil” icon and “+” icon to edit what is queried or add a new table to query, respectively. The example uses change_task as the table, keyed on number with number: short_description as the summary shown to the user.

  • OPTIONAL - In the Search Queries section of any query, you can add add a filter expression to limit what is returned. Note that this expression is not checked for correct syntax. Consult with your ServiceNow administrators to determine whether you need to filter (most organizations will not) and what columns/values to filter on.
