--- title: "Optional features for group share" canonical: "https://docs.perspectium.com/space/Iodine/1704319/Optional%20features%20for%20group%20share" format: markdown --- Once you have successfully created a group share , there are a variety of related features you can take advantage of.  Explore them below! Execute bulk shares for a group share This feature allows you to run bulk shares in your group share, if you didn't set up a schedule when you first created the group share . Here's how to execute bulk shares in an existing group share on demand: In  your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to   Perspectium   >   Perspectium Core  >  Shares   >   Group  Shares  >  View Group Shares . Find and click into the group share that you want to execute bulk shares for. In the resulting group share page, scroll down to the  Related Links  section and click  Execute bulk shares now .  ↑ Go to top of page Reorder bulk shares in a group share This feature allows you to reorder the sharing of bulk shares in your group share. By default, your group share will run the bulk shares in the order that they were added. In  your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to   Perspectium   >   Perspectium Core  >  Shares   >   Group  Shares  >  View Group Shares . Find and click into the group share that you want to reorder the bulk shares for. In the resulting group share page, scroll down to the table at the bottom and click the  Bulk Shares  tab to view all bulk shares for this group share. The way they appear in the list reflects the order in which they will run. To change the position of a bulk share in the list, click on the value (number) for the  Order  field of the bulk share. This will open that bulk share's page. In the resulting bulk share page, find the  Order  field, and enter a number based on the position that you want to assign it. Bulk shares will run in groups of 4, and once 1 of those bulk shares has finished running, the bulk share with an  Order  of 5 will then start running.  SOME NOTES: To modify the number of bulk shares that run concurrently in a group share, type  sys_properties.list  in ServiceNow's filter navigator and search for the  com.glide.sys.schedulers  property. 50% of the value you assign to this property will be the number of bulk shares that can run concurrently in a group share. If you enter a redundant value in the   Order  field, then the bulk share that was originally assigned that value will run before the bulk share with the newly modified value.  For example , if  Bulk Share 1  originally had an  Order  field value of 1 and you change  Bulk Share 2  to have an  Order  field value of 1, then  Bulk Share 1  will run before  Bulk Share 2 . To confirm the order of the bulk shares in your group share, check the  Bulk Shares  tab in your group share. ↑ Go to top of page Group share templates This Perspectium feature offers built-in templates for common service management processes that you can use, or you can create your own custom templates to apply to multiple shares within the same group. View your built-in tables at  Perspectium   >   Perspectium Core  >  Shares   >   Group  Shares  >  View Templates . You need a  template_editor_global  or  admin  role   to view templates.  Here are the built-in templates included in the Perspectium update set for ServiceNow:  Template name Tables included in template Description Incident Management PSP Template Incident, User, Business Service, Configuration Item, Group, Problem, Change Request, Workflow Activity, Task, Location, Execution Plan Task, Execution Plan, Company Includes datas related to interruptions in IT services or reductions in IT service quality. This template will replicate the tables needed to have your incident management in sync with other instances.  Service Catalog Sync PSP Template Catalog Item, Variable, Variable Set, Catalog Client Scripts, Catalog UI Policy, Catalog Item Category, Available for Groups, Not Available for Groups, Available for Companies, Not Available for Companies, Available for Departments, Not Available for Departments, Available at Locations, Not Available at Locations, Available for Users, Not Available for Users, Approving Groups, Approving Users, Rule Includes data related to customer-facing or internal IT services that comprise a typical IT service portfolio.  This template will replicate the tables needed to have your service catalog in sync with other instances.  CMDB Analytics PSP Template Includes data typically found in a configuration management database (CMDB) to be used for the analysis of IT configuration items.  This template will replicate the tables needed to have your CMDB in sync with other instances.  Catalog Tasks PSP Template Application,  Catalog Item,  Catalog Task,   Category,  Company,  Configuration Item,  Group,  Hardware Catalog,  Order guide,  Product model,  Request,  Requested Item,  Software catalog,  Sys Plugins,  User,  Variable,  Workflow,  Workflow Activity,  Workflow Activity Definition,  Workflow Stage,  Workflow version Includes data related to service catalog requests that requires approval.

Give your template a name in the  Name  field and use the  Short description  field to enter a brief description of your template's intended purpose/use. Check the  Active  box. This will ensure that the template appears in the list when you create or modify a group share . Use the  Available  <>  Selected  tables to add the names of the tables that you want in your template. Use the magnifying glass to search for specific tables, and then double click the table name(s) you want, or click once and then click the right-pointing arrow. You're just moving table names over from a list of "available options" into a list of "Selected tables". Repeat for as many tables as you want. Once you've added all the tables you want, click  Submit .  If you are committing your update set containing custom-created group templates to other instances, make sure to run the Perspectium finish install script . ↑ Go to top of page Modify a custom group share template After creating a group share template, you can make changes as necessary. You  cannot modify the built-in templates.  Here's how to modify a custom-created group share template: In  your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to   Perspectium   >   Perspectium Core  >  Shares   >   Group  Shares  > View Templates . Click the template that you want to modify. In the resulting Template form, make changes as you please.  Click  Update .  SOME NOTES: We do NOT recommend that you modify the  Tables List  field. The  Tables List   field will be updated based on the tables in your  Tables  field automatically after saving your template. Although an option to choose additional fields is visible, fields other than  Tables  and  Table List  cannot be added to the Template form.  The order of the Template MUST be  Tables  then  Table List . Altering this will also affect the template for your group share. ↑ Go to top of page Delete a custom group share template If you want to delete a custom-created group share template, here's how: In  your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to   Perspectium   >   Perspectium Core  >  Shares   >   Group  Shares  > View Templates . Click the template that you want to modify. In the resulting Template form, click  Delete  in the top right. SOME NOTES: Do NOT delete the built-in group share templates  ↑ Go to top of page
