Users will need to contact the Customer Support by submitting an incident on the Hi Service Portal, the request will be submitted then by the CS - Administration team.

> Review the ServiceNow naming policy (KB0550841 ) to avoid naming-convention conflicts and delays in processing. Check the box right next to it.

When submitting an incident on the Hi Service Portal, you will need to provide the following details:

■ Current Instance■ Required Instance [New Name]

■ Old URL availability: Please provide the number of days you would like the old URL to remain

Note: By default, ServiceNow retains the old URL for 2 business days. It can retain the old URL for up to 7 days.

■ Te Cutover Date: Please provide a date in which the rename can take place

Note: Add the date you would like the cut over to happen. This date MUST be at least 3 days from the day you are opening your rename ticket.

A follow up on the instance rename's progress shall take place within the incident accordingly.
