Access and Roles
Access requires one of the following roles: sncmdbadmin (CMDB Admin), sncmdbeditor (CMDB Editor), or sncmdbuser (CMDB User). Navigate to Workspaces > CMDB Workspace and select My Work from the workspace menu to open this view.
Task Status Management
The Task status section summarizes tasks by their current status, including counts of open and closed tasks across attestation, certification, and life-cycle categories. CMDB Admins can also see unassigned tasks for reassignment purposes. Selecting a status card filters the task lists accordingly, allowing focused task management by status such as In Progress or Closed.
Task Categories
- Certification tasks: Lists Data Certification tasks assigned to you or your groups, including those for your direct reports or group members if you are a manager. These tasks require reviewing audit results for Configuration Items (CIs) and attribute values.
- Attestation tasks: Displays attestation tasks linked to you or your groups, including those for your direct reports or group members. Processing these tasks involves verifying the physical existence of IT infrastructure or applications related to the CIs.
- Overdue tasks: Highlights tasks past their due date to prioritize timely completion.
- Life-cycle tasks: Shows all other CMDB Data Manager tasks aside from attestation and certification, including closed tasks. Managers also see their direct reports’ and group members’ tasks.
Practical Benefits
This consolidated view allows ServiceNow customers to organize and prioritize CMDB compliance tasks efficiently, ensuring data integrity and governance. Managers gain oversight of their teams’ workloads, and CMDB admins can reassign unowned tasks, streamlining workflow and accountability.
Use the My Work view in CMDB Workspace to manage your tasks. Tasks in this view are related to data compliance such as attestation, certification, and other life-cycle tasks.
For CMDB administrators, lists of tasks can also contain unassigned tasks, for reassignment. For managers, tasks of direct reports are included, and if you are a manager of a user group, then tasks of members in that group are also included.

Task status
The Task status section provides overall counts of tasks by their status. Counts in each status card are for attestation, certification, and life-cycle tasks as applicable. Total tasks for example, is a count of all open tasks from CMDB Data Manager that are assigned to you, or to an assigned group in the Managed by Group attribute which you are a member of. For CMDB Admins, also tasks that aren't assigned to anyone are included. The Closed card counts all tasks that are in a closed state ('Closed Complete', 'Closed Canceled', 'Closed Incomplete', and 'Rejected').
Select a status card to show the associated tasks in the various lists such as Attestation tasks and Certification tabs in the My tasks section. For example, when you select the In progress status card in the Task status section, the Attestation tasks list shows attestation tasks that are in progress and the All other tasks list shows all non-attestation and non-certification tasks that are in progress.
Certification tasks
The Certification tasks tab in the My tasks section lists any Data Certification tasks assigned to you or to an assignment group that you belong to in accordance with CMDB Data Manager policies. For managers, tasks of direct reports are included, and for user group managers, tasks of members in the group are also included. Review and process these tasks by checking audit results for the associated CIs and attribute values. For more information about reviewing Data Certification tasks, see Review certification tasks.
Attestation tasks
The Attestation tasks tab in the My tasks section lists any attestation tasks assigned to you or to an assignment group that you belong to in accordance with CMDB Data Manager Attestation policies. For managers, tasks of direct reports are included, and for user group managers, tasks of members in the group are also included. Review and process these attestation tasks by checking the physical existence of IT infrastructure or applications associated with the CIs in the tasks. For information about reviewing and processing attestation tasks, see Review attestation tasks in CMDB Workspace or in Service Graph Workspace.
The Overdue tasks tab lists those tasks that are overdue so you can review those tasks at a higher priority.
Life-cycle tasks
The All other tasks tab in the My tasks section lists any tasks, aside from attestation and certification tasks, assigned to you or to an assignment group that you belong to in accordance with CMDB Data Manager policies. The list includes tasks that are in a closed state ('Closed Complete', 'Closed Canceled', 'Closed Incomplete', and 'Rejected'). For managers, tasks of direct reports are included, and for user group managers, tasks of members in the group are also included. For information about reviewing and processing life-cycle tasks, see Review CMDB Data Manager tasks.
