Impact #

Extending the Change Request table typically indicates over-customisation of the instance. The out of the box Change Request workflow can be adapted to your specific needs without requiring extending the Change Request table.

Remediation #

Reevaluate the requirements behind this change and remove the extended tables:

  • Different process-related requirements should be tackled by standardizing processes at an organizational level.
  • Non-ITSM Change Requests, e.g. a Facility Change Request, should be either build as a custom app or by leveraging existing applications on the ServiceNow store..
