In Data Foundations, “Insight” focuses on turning configuration data into actionable visibility. CMDB 360 (often associated with Multisource CMDB capabilities) provides a guided experience in CMDB Workspace for exploring CI data and running queries across sources. Within this experience, Saved Queries are managed directly under the CMDB 360 area of CMDB Workspace because they are part of the CMDB 360 query-and-analysis workflow.

A CMDB 360 Saved Query is not the same as a generic CMDB Query Builder query created from classic navigation modules. The CMDB 360 experience typically uses a tile/window approach where users can view existing saved queries, create new queries, modify them, and run them to retrieve CMDB 360 data aligned to multisource reporting and analysis. Keeping saved queries on the CMDB 360 tab makes them easy to discover and reuse for repeatable insights (for example, coverage and source comparisons, CI data quality checks by source, and targeted investigation of records).

The Insights tab in CMDB Workspace is generally used to understand adoption and health-related insights about CMDB features, not as the primary location for creating CMDB 360 multisource saved queries. “Coverage” is a specific lens/view and does not represent the saved-query creation workspace. “CMDB Query Builder” is a related capability, but the question explicitly asks where CMDB 360/Multisource Saved Queries are viewed and created in CMDB Workspace , which is the Saved queries window on the CMDB 360 tab.

The Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) is a core platform capability in ServiceNow and does not require CMDB 360 / Multisource CMDB to function. Even without the ITOM Discovery license, organizations can still define and use IRE reconciliation rules across multiple data sources.

IRE rules are source-aware and can evaluate attributes based on source precedence, regardless of whether CMDB 360 is enabled. CMDB 360 enhances visibility, governance, and monitoring of multiple sources, but it is not a prerequisite for reconciliation logic itself.

Option A is incorrect because purchasing ITOM Discovery is not mandatory to use multisource reconciliation. Option C is also incorrect because CMDB 360 / Multisource CMDB is a licensed add-on, not a universally available platform feature.

Therefore, the Data Owner can proceed by configuring IRE reconciliation rules directly, making Option B the correct answer.
