A scripted audit enables users with the certification_admin role to conduct an audit from a script rather than using restrictive template conditions.

A scripted audit uses a certification filter to select the records to audit, and then creates standard follow-on tasks for remediation of any discrepancies. Use this type of audit to query for any values or states that a script can define. A scripted audit is a specific audit type that is activated together with the Desired State plugin. ServiceNow provides a sample audit script with configuration instructions.
