What is a best practice after a pattern is created?

The best practice after creating a pattern is to bind it to a classifier. Binding the pattern to a classifier is crucial because it allows the pattern to be recognized and utilized during the discovery process. By associating the pattern with a specific classifier, ServiceNow can effectively categorize the service or application that the pattern represents. This step ensures that the pattern will be applied correctly during discovery, facilitating accurate identification and data retrieval for configuration items.

While other options may have their merits, the binding process is fundamental. Deleting unnecessary sections might be part of refining the pattern but is not as critical as ensuring it can be effectively utilized. Sharing with other users can enhance collaboration and improve the pattern through collective input, but it does not directly impact the operational effectiveness of the pattern. Running a test discovery is an important step to validate the pattern’s performance, but it logically follows after the binding is completed to ensure that everything has been set up correctly for discovery operations. Thus, binding the pattern to a classifier stands out as an essential and foundational practice following the pattern's creation.
