5.3 Priority and Severity Mapping

Table 5-3 and Table 5-4 show the mapping between the Enterprise Manager ticket priority/severity values and how the corresponding values are set in ServiceNow based on those incidents.

Note:

ServiceNow Incident Priority is calculated from Impact and Priority as described in the Incident Management section of the ServiceNow Product Documentation Wiki:
