Filter definitions

Filters are triggered on certain application events. Filters populate data on the source forms and then push data from the source forms to the NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form for processing. One or more notification filters can trigger a notification event.

This topic describes the filters that are imported in your BMC Remedy ITSM environment when you install the BMC Service Desk Automation run book. 

The following table defines each of the filter and how it is used in BMC Service Desk Automation run book.

  • Categorization Tier 1= BMC Service Desk Automation 
  • Categorization Tier 1= BMC Service Desk Automation
