## Improvements

### "External ID" label renamed to "ServiceNow ID"

The "External ID" label shown in the asset list and asset detail views has been renamed to "ServiceNow ID". This makes it immediately clear that the ID originates from the connected ServiceNow instance, reducing ambiguity when you investigate assets.

**What changed:**

- The asset list view now shows "ServiceNow ID" instead of "External ID".

- The asset detail view now shows "ServiceNow ID" instead of "External ID".

**Note:** this is a short-term label change. A future release will display the source system name based on your connector configuration, so the label stays accurate across all connector types.

This change is live in production as of April 9, 2026.
