Can a maintenance run be executed On Demand?

• A. Sometimes
• B. Not applicable
• C. No
• D. Yes

Answer: (D)

A maintenance run can be started on demand. In ServiceNow FSM, a maintenance run is a defined set of maintenance tasks tied to assets or locations, and you can trigger it either on a schedule or manually. Starting it on demand lets you perform urgent maintenance or test a plan immediately, without waiting for the next scheduled window. When you initiate an On-Demand run, it uses the same task definitions, assigns the same technicians, and logs the results in the Maintenance Run record. You typically trigger this via the Maintenance Runs interface by choosing an option like Run Now, assuming you have the necessary permissions and the run isn’t blocked by required prerequisites.
