Advanced Configuration

Hide Specific Change Properties in Console

By default BigPanda displays all properties from your ServiceNow change in the BigPanda Console. If you wish to hide certain properties you can use the hide field in the configuration. Each comma separated field will be hidden within the BigPanda console.

Note: These properties will still be available in the change metadata and usable during algorithmic correlation

Troubleshooting

The BigPanda App logs into the system log of ServiceNow. If no changes are making it to your BigPanda console, please review your ServiceNow logs for information on possible errors.
