Create and manage pages and subpages for ADRs

Flexibly organize information for your architectural decision records (ADR) by creating, duplicating, and deleting pages and subpages in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace.

Before you begin

An ADR can have multiple doc pages associated with it to help you organize key architectural artifact details. Predefined ServiceNow Docs component (sn_docs) templates are available. You can create ADR pages using one of these templates or start with a blank page.

Note: The ADR feature in Enterprise Architecture Workspace uses the ServiceNow Docs component (sn_docs) to create pages in the Artifacts section. Docs component v6.0.0 is automatically installed with Enterprise Architecture Workspace v3.4.0.

If you’re using an older version of Enterprise Architecture Workspace with Docs component v6.0.0, upgrade the workspace to v3.4.0 to fully use the ADR functionality. For more information, see KB2017926.

Role required: sn_apm.apm_user and you should have Editor access to the ADR.
