CIS-ITSM Exam - Question 17


Under what circumstances, should you use the Communicate workaround Related Link on the Problem record?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

You should use the Communicate workaround Related Link on the Problem record when the workaround is helpful information for the Callers on the Problem's related Incidents. This is because the content of the workaround gets added to the activity stream of all related incidents and generates notifications to the Caller, which effectively communicates the necessary information to the appropriate audience. It ensures that Callers receive updates about the workaround, thereby stopping escalations and improving communication regarding the issue.

D. is the correct answer. As per page 355 of CIS-ITSM (Tokyo) eBook: 1. By default, the workaround gets copied to the work notes of any active (i.e. Open, In Progress) incidents related to the problem record. 2. The workaround is also copied to the Additional Comments of any related incident that has Resolution code of Known error. A is NOT correct answer, because callers are not able to see work notes, they can only see additional comments. As per 2nd point above, workaround is copied to additional comments of 'resolved' incidents not for 'open' incidents (which is specified in option A).

to be fair, it's not clear that the incidents are open, the question could have explicitly stated "... Problem's related open incidents", seems the question aimed to confuse.

Please ignore my previous post. This really seems confusing. Option A: The caller won't be able to see the work notes unless they are ITIL users Option D: Should the work notes be copied from the workaround to the problem's work note list?

yes, I checked in the e-book as well, A is meant to confuse you, so D must be correct.

When you select Communicate Workaround in the problem record, ALL of the the following happens not just updating work notes: 1. The contents of the workaround is added to the Work notes field for any active (not in a state of Resolved, Closed, or Canceled) incidents related to the problem record 2. and to the Additional comments field of any related incident with a Resolution code of Known error. 3. The workaround is also automatically sent to the incident Caller, to anyone added to the incident Watch list, and to the incident Assigned to user. This is from the ebook and verified in an instance.

D. The caller would not be informed unless incident has a resolution code of Known Error, thus Work notes list is the correct answer Pg 355 says "By default, the workaround gets copied to the Work notes of any active (not in a state of Resolved, Closed, or Canceled) incident related to the problem record. The workaround is also copied to the Additional comments of any related incident that has a Resolution code of Known error."

JY1235Option: D
Sep 5, 2023

Correct Answer is "D". A. is for "Open" incidents which for this question is a wrong answer, since the workaround gets copied to the "Resolved" incident's additional comments with "Known Error" resolution code.

The workaround is also copied to the Additional comments of any related incident that has a Resolution code of Known error." - The answer is D. You looked it up, and still got it wrong.

D answer pg 350 utah. Not a because open incident.and not c because workaround goes to worknote only unlike fix which go to assignee also.

From ITSM Utah: "The contents of the workaround is added to the Work notes field for any active incidents related to the problem record, - and to the Additional comments field of any related incident with a Reolution code of Known error. - The workaround is also automatically sent to the incident Caller, - to anyone added to the incident Watch list, - and to the incident Assigned to user." Option B is discarded because the text does not include knowledge articles. Option C is discarded because it is not included in the text Problem's Assignment Group. Option D is also discarded because the text names the Incident Watch List, which is different from the Work Notes List. The most correct option is A because "The workaround is also automatically sent to the incident Caller".

Answer is A. D is WRONG because the contents of workaround is added to related INCIDENT Work notes field and additional comments fields. D says "PROBLEM Work notes" which is wrong.

A should be correct for incidents not opened. In that case workaround is paste on additional comments of incidents related to the problem, so visible to Callers. For incidents opened the workaround is paste on work notes.. not visible to caller... I don't understand what is the correct answer

A. as per servicenow documentation: The problem number and the content of the Workaround field are added to the activity stream on all related incidents. By default, any entries made in an incident activity stream field generate an email notification to the Caller that you mention on the Incident form. It stops escalations and effectively communicates to the appropriate audience ("caller" receives a notification)

A is the correct answer, it doesn't appear only in work notes, but in the additional comments too

I have tried it on my PDI. I first populated the WORKAROUND field then click the Communicate Workaround related list. There is an info message stating that Workaround communicated. When I opened the Incident related, I see the workaround on the worknotes.

A is correct. D is meant to confuse you.. THe catch is the Problem's work notes not any related Incident worknotes.
