1E ITSM Connect post-installation tasks

Post-installation tasks, which include mandatory and optional configuration tasks.

The 1E ITSM Connect app communicates with the Tachyon system that is hosted in your production network. As a result, certain configuration details must be set up by a ServiceNow administrator to enable this communication with the Tachyon server. Additional settings must also be configured to manage how the 1E ITSM Connect app works.
