 # CI Deduplication Task Generator
 
-This script rechecks the cmdb_ci_hardware table for duplicates by serial number and creates a De-Duplication Task if needed (for records that didn't run through the IRE).
+This repository contains a ServiceNow customization that enables users to create De-Duplicate Tasks for selected Configuration Items (CIs) directly from a list view using a UI Action.
 
-### How It Works
-
-1. Finds all serial numbers that are used on more than one hardware CI.
+When executed, the UI Action confirms the number of selected CIs, calls a Script Include via GlideAjax, and creates a Remediate Duplicate Task using CMDBDuplicateTaskUtils
 
-2. For each group of duplicates, it checks if any of the CIs are already part of an open de-duplication task.
+### How It Works
 
-3. If no open task exists, it creates a new one linking all CIs in the group.
+* Allows users to select multiple CIs and trigger de-duplication in one click
+* Automatically creates a De-Duplicate Task record using backend logic
+* Displays confirmation dialogs for task creation and redirection
+* Prevents duplicate task creation for CIs already linked to an open task
+* Redirects to the created De-Duplicate Task record for quick review
 
-4. Logs a summary of actions taken (tasks created, groups skipped).
 
 ### Dependencies
 
 This script requires the `global.CMDBDuplicateTaskUtils` Script Include to be active in your instance.
 
 ### Configuration & Use
 
-This script is meant to be run as a **Scheduled Job** or as a **Background Script**.
-
-Before you run it, you must set the target table.
-
-```
-// Change this line in the script!
-var ciTable = "cmdb_ci_hardware" 
-
-
-```
-
-Change `"cmdb_ci_hardware"` to the table you want to run the script against.
-
-### Example Log Output
-
-```
-Starting check for duplicate CIs by serial number...
-==> Successfully created task RITM0010123 for Serial Number "VMW-50-81-7A-C9-23-44".
---> Skipping Serial Number "SGH814X025". It is already part of an open task.
---- Re-check Complete ---
-Total Duplicate Groups Found: 2
-New Remediation Tasks Created: 1
-Groups Skipped (Already in an open task): 1
