g_user is a global object available only in the client-side environment (Client Scripts, UI Policies, UI Actions).

From Development Handbook 4.0.4, p. 204:

“g_user is only available client-side. It returns session-specific info like roles and user ID. Not usable in Business Rules or Script Includes.”

ServiceNow provides several methods to install applications onto an instance, each suited to different scenarios:

Import an Application from an XML File (Option A):

Description: Developers can export an application as an XML file and then import it into another ServiceNow instance.

Use Case: This method is commonly used for moving applications between instances, such as from development to production.

Procedure:

Navigate to "System Applications" > "Applications."

Click on the "Import" button.

Upload the XML file of the application.

A Module in ServiceNow is a navigational element within an Application Menu that directs users to specific records, lists, forms, or reports.

Option A (Correct): Modules always belong to an Application Menu, providing structured navigation.

Option B (Incorrect): Modules can link to pages, reports, and URLs, not just tables.

Option C (Incorrect): Modules can open forms, lists, dashboards, and external URLs.

Option D (Incorrect): Modules can be restricted by roles, limiting visibility and access.

ServiceNow supports publishing an application to an application repository, an Update Set, or the ServiceNow Store. These methods allow the application to be installed on other instances or shared with other users.

 The correct combination of statements is a, b, and d. These are possible reasons to build custom applications on ServiceNow:

To replace outdated, inadequate, custom business applications and processes. Building custom applications on ServiceNow can help digitize and automate manual or legacy processes that are not covered by existing ServiceNow solutions. This can improve efficiency, data quality, user experience, and innovation.

To extend service delivery and management to all enterprise departments. Building custom applications on ServiceNow can help provide consistent and scalable services across different functions and teams in the organization. This can enhance collaboration, visibility, productivity, and customer satisfaction.

To extend the value of ServiceNow. Building custom applications on ServiceNow can help leverage the capabilities and benefits of the Now Platform®, such as low-code development tools, workflow automation engine, AI-powered insights, security operations, etc. This can increase agility, resilience, performance, and value.

The statement c is not a valid reason to build custom applications on ServiceNow:

To allow users full access to all ServiceNow tables, records, and fields. Building custom applications on ServiceNow does not imply granting users full access to all data and objects in ServiceNow. Access control rules still apply to custom applications and their components to ensure security and compliance. Reference: Build Custom Apps in ServiceNow – eBook

It is possible to change an application’s scope in ServiceNow, either from global to private or from private to global. However, changing the scope of an application may affect its functionality and compatibility with other applications. Therefore, it is recommended to test the application thoroughly before and after changing its scope.

Source Control and Delegated Development features are only available to scoped applications . References: [Global vs Scoped Applications], [Delegated Development]

The fastest way to create and configure a Record Producer is to open the table in the Table records and select the Add to Service Catalog Related Link. This will automatically create a Record Producer with the same fields as the table and add it to the Service Catalog. You can then modify the Record Producer as needed. The other options require more steps and manual configuration. Reference: Create a record producer

The application name is not required to link a ServiceNow application to a Git repository. You only need to provide the URL, user name, and password of the Git repository, as well as the branch name and the authentication type. The application name is automatically generated based on the scope name of your application. Reference: [Link an application to a Git repository]

"You must first select read access to grant any other API record operation."

The Application Access configuration fields control the access level for an application and its tables. The following Application Access configuration fields are not available if the Can read configuration field is not selected:

Can create. This field determines whether users can create records on the application tables.

Can update. This field determines whether users can update records on the application tables.

Can delete. This field determines whether users can delete records on the application tables.

These fields are not available because they depend on the Can read field, which determines whether users can view records on the application tables. If users cannot read records, they cannot create, update, or delete them either.

The following Application Access configuration fields are available regardless of the Can read configuration field:

All access to this table via web services. This field determines whether users can access the application tables using web services, such as REST or SOAP.

Allow configuration. This field determines whether users can configure the application tables, such as adding or modifying fields, views, or indexes. References: Application Access, Certified Application Developer (CAD) Learning Path

Table Extension in ServiceNow:Extending a table in ServiceNow means creating a child table based on a parent table. The child table inherits the fields, configurations, and functionality of the parent table.

What is Inherited:

Fields: All fields from the parent table are available in the child table.

Functionality: The child table benefits from any business logic or workflows defined for the parent table.

Access Controls: The child table respects the Access Control rules defined for the parent table unless explicitly overridden.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option B: This is incorrect because the new table does inherit fields from the parent table.

Option C: This is incorrect because you do not need to script or configure behaviors from scratch; they are inherited.

Option D: This is incorrect because Access Controls are not ignored; they still apply and can be extended or modified for the child table.

there are only two types of UX options: Mobile and Classic. Classic is defined as "manage records via lists and form"

Access Control scripts are server-side scripts that run when an Access Control rule is evaluated. They can use the gs and current objects to access the GlideSystem and GlideRecord methods, respectively. Some of the useful methods in Access Control scripts are:

gs.hasRole() - This method checks if the current user has a specified role. It returns true if the user has the role, and false otherwise. For example, gs.hasRole(‘admin’) will return true if the user is an administrator, and false otherwise.

current.isNewRecord() - This method checks if the current record is a new record that has not been inserted into the database yet. It returns true if the record is new, and false otherwise. For example, current.isNewRecord() will return true if the record is being created, and false if the record is being updated or deleted.

The methods g_user.hasRole() and current.isNew() are not part of the server-side scripting API. They are part of the client-side scripting API, which is used in Client Scripts and UI Policies. They cannot be used in Access Control scripts.

The following is true for a Script Include with a Protection Policy value of Protected:

The Protection Policy is applied only if the application is downloaded from the ServiceNow App Store. This is true because the Protection Policy is a feature that allows developers to protect their Script Includes from being viewed or modified by other users when they distribute their applications through the ServiceNow App Store. The Protection Policy is only enforced when the application is installed from the App Store, not when it is developed or tested on the instance.

The following are not true for a Script Include with a Protection Policy value of Protected:

Any user with the protected_edit role can see and edit the Script Include. This is false because the protected_edit role is not related to the Protection Policy, but to the Access Control (ACL) rules. The protected_edit role allows users to edit protected fields on a table, such as the script field on the sys_script table, which stores the Business Rules. The Protection Policy does not use roles to control access to the Script Includes, but a cryptographic key that is generated when the application is published to the App Store.

The Protection policy option can only be enabled by a user with the admin role. This is false because the Protection policy option can be enabled by any user who has the application_admin role for the scoped application that contains the Script Include. The application_admin role grants full access to the application development and administration within the scope of the application.

The Protection Policy is applied only if the glide.app.apply_protection system property value is true. This is false because the glide.app.apply_protection system property is not related to the Protection Policy, but to the Application Restricted Caller Access (ARCA) feature. The ARCA feature allows developers to restrict the access to the Script Includes from other applications based on the caller’s scope. The glide.app.apply_protection system property determines whether the ARCA feature is enabled or disabled on the instance. References: Script Includes, Protect Script Includes, Application Restricted Caller Access

Options for Creating Tables in Guided Application Creator:

Create a table from scratch: This option allows you to define a completely new table with custom fields and configurations.

Create a table from a template: You can use predefined table templates to speed up table creation. Templates often include pre-configured fields and settings.

Extend a table: This allows you to create a new table by inheriting fields and functionality from an existing table, enabling reuse and consistency.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option A (Link to external tables): Linking to external tables is not an option provided in the Guided Application Creator; external data is typically accessed through integration methods.

Option D (Run import jobs): Import jobs are used for data migration, not for table creation in the Guided Application Creator.

Option E (Upload a spreadsheet): While uploading a spreadsheet can create tables, this is a feature of Import Sets, not the Guided Application Creator.

Option F (Use API calls): API calls are for integration and not an option for creating tables directly in the Guided Application Creator.

ServiceNow Developer Documentation on Guided Application Creator​.

 When configuring a REST Message, the Endpoint is:

The URI of the data to be accessed, queried, or modified. This is the correct answer because the Endpoint is the part of the REST Message that specifies the location and the resource of the REST provider. The Endpoint is composed of the base URL and the resource path, which can include query parameters or variables. For example, the Endpoint for a REST Message that retrieves the weather information for a city from a web service could be

The following are not correct definitions of the Endpoint when configuring a REST Message:

The commands to the REST script to stop execution. This is not correct because the commands to the REST script to stop execution are not part of the REST Message, but of the Scripted REST API, which is a feature that allows users to create custom REST endpoints on the ServiceNow platform. The commands to the REST script to stop execution are methods of the RESTAPIResponse object, such as setStatusCode, setError, or complete.

Information about the format of the returned data. This is not correct because the information about the format of the returned data is not part of the Endpoint, but of the HTTP headers or the Accept field of the REST Message. The HTTP headers or the Accept field can be used to specify the content type of the response, such as JSON, XML, or HTML.

The response from the provider indicating there is no data to send back. This is not correct because the response from the provider indicating there is no data to send back is not part of the Endpoint, but of the HTTP status code or the response body of the REST Message. The HTTP status code or the response body can be used to indicate the result of the REST request, such as 200 OK, 404 Not Found, or 500 Internal Server Error. References: REST Messages, Scripted REST APIs

ServiceNow provides several methods for developers to publish and share applications once they are ready for distribution. The supported methods include:

Publish to an application repository: This method allows developers to publish their applications to a centralized repository, enabling easy distribution and installation across multiple ServiceNow instances. The application repository serves as a hub where applications can be stored and accessed by other instances.

snowunderground.com

Publish to the ServiceNow Store: Developers can submit their applications to the ServiceNow Store, a marketplace where applications are reviewed, certified, and made available to all ServiceNow customers. Publishing to the Store involves a certification process to ensure the application meets ServiceNow's standards.

support.servicenow.com

Publish to an update set: An update set is a container for capturing configuration changes in ServiceNow. Developers can publish applications to an update set, which can then be moved between instances, allowing for the transfer of application configurations and customizations.

servicenow.com

Options A (Publish to a spreadsheet), D (Publish to a local USB device), and F (Publish to a local drive) are not supported methods for publishing applications in ServiceNow. These options do not align with the platform's mechanisms for application distribution and deployment.

This class allows you to create and manipulate dialog windows on the user interface. You can use this class to display messages, forms, or custom HTML content in a modal window.

GuideAjex: This class allows you to make asynchronous calls to the server and process the response. You can use this class to retrieve data, execute scripts, or perform actions on the server without reloading the page.

GuideForm: This class allows you to access and manipulate the fields and values on a form. You can use this class to get or set field values, show or hide fields, add or remove options, or validate field inputs.

The class GuideRecord is not part of the Client side scoped APIs. GuideRecord is part of the Server side scoped APIs, which are a set of classes and methods that allow you to interact with the database and perform server-side logic on the ServiceNow platform. GuideRecord is a class that represents a record in a table and allows you to query, insert, update, or delete records on the server.

Application Access settings on a table control which operations external applications (in other scopes) can perform. The main controllable operations are:

Can create

Can read (query)

Can update

Can delete

From Development Handbook 4.0.4, p. 192:

“Application access settings determine whether another scope can read, write, create, or delete records from this table... Execute is not a valid database operation — it pertains to script includes or other executable logic.”

In ServiceNow, when configuring a REST Message, the Endpoint specifies the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) where the REST request is sent. This URI points to the resource on the external system that the REST message will interact with, whether it's to retrieve, update, create, or delete data.

Key Points:

Endpoint Definition: The Endpoint is a complete URL that includes the protocol (e.g., HTTP or HTTPS), the domain or IP address of the external server, and the specific path to the resource. For example:

Dynamic Endpoints: ServiceNow allows the use of variables within the Endpoint URL, enabling dynamic substitution at runtime. This is useful when the exact resource path or parameters need to be determined during execution.

Configuration in ServiceNow:

Navigate to "System Web Services" > "Outbound" > "REST Message."

Create a new REST Message or select an existing one.

In the REST Message record, define the Endpoint URL in the "Endpoint" field.

Example Scenario:

If you are integrating ServiceNow with an external ticketing system to retrieve incident data, the Endpoint might be something like where {incident_id} is a placeholder that gets replaced with the actual incident ID at runtime.

The source control operation used to store local changes on an instance for later application is called a stash. A stash is a temporary storage area for uncommitted changes that are not ready to be pushed to a remote repository. Developers can use stashes to save their work in progress without committing it to the local repository or discarding it. Stashes can be applied later to restore the changes to the working directory, or dropped if they are no longer needed. References: [ServiceNow Docs - Stash local changes], [ServiceNow Docs - Source control]

Created UI policy on incident form, action set's cmdb_ci field as mandatory and script as not. result, field was not mandatory.

A UI Policy’s Actions execute before the UI Policy’s Scripts. Actions are predefined operations that can be applied to fields or sections, such as making them mandatory, read-only, visible, or setting a default value. Scripts are custom JavaScript code that can be used to perform more complex logic or validations. Actions are executed first, and then Scripts are executed if the UI Policy conditions are met. References: [ServiceNow Docs - UI policy actions], [ServiceNow Docs - UI policy scripts]

Creating an Application Properties page in ServiceNow provides a centralized location where developers or administrators can configure settings that influence the behavior of an application. This approach offers several benefits:

Dynamic Configuration: By exposing certain parameters through an Application Properties page, administrators can adjust the application's behavior in response to changing requirements or environments without altering the underlying code or application artifacts.

Simplified Maintenance: Having a dedicated properties page reduces the need for direct modifications to scripts or configurations, thereby minimizing the risk of introducing errors. It also streamlines the process of updating settings, as changes can be made through the user interface.

Enhanced Flexibility: Developers can design applications with configurable options, allowing for greater adaptability across different

The following is true for GlideUser (g_user) methods:

Can be used in Client Scripts, UI Policies, and UI Actions. This is true because GlideUser (g_user) methods are part of the client-side scripting APIs that provide information about the current user and the user’s preferences. Client Scripts, UI Policies, and UI Actions are all types of client-side scripts that run in the web browser and manipulate the user interface.

The following are not true for GlideUser (g_user) methods:

Can be used in Client Scripts and UI Policies only. This is false because GlideUser (g_user) methods can also be used in UI Actions, which are another type of client-side scripts that can be triggered by a user’s click on a button, link, or choice.

Can be used in Business Rules only. This is false because GlideUser (g_user) methods cannot be used in Business Rules, which are server-side scripts that run on the ServiceNow platform and manipulate the database. Business Rules use a different API to access the current user information, which is GlideSystem (gs).

Can be used in Business Rules, and Scripts Includes. This is false because GlideUser (g_user) methods cannot be used in Business Rules or Script Includes, which are both server-side scripts. Script Includes are reusable units of code that can be called from any server-side script. Script Includes also use GlideSystem (gs) to access the current user information. References: Client-Side Scripting APIs, GlideUser, Business Rules, Script Includes

The statement that is true for this script fragment is that the method returns true if the currently logged in user has the x_my_app_user role or the admin role. The g_user.hasRole() method is a client-side method that checks whether the current user has a specified role or set of roles. If no role is specified, it returns true if the user has any role. If one or more roles are specified, it returns true if the user has any one of the specified roles. However, this method always returns true if the user has the admin role, regardless of the role parameter. Therefore, in this case, the method returns true if the user has either the x_my_app_user role or the admin role. Reference: User Object Cheat Sheet, Checking user permissions

The GlideUser object (g_user) is part of the client-side scripting API that provides information about the current user and the user’s preferences. It can be used in Client Scripts and UI Policies to customize the user interface based on the user’s role, language, time zone, etc. The workflow.scratchpad object is only available in Workflow scripts, which are used to automate processes on the platform. The current and previous objects are only available in server-side scripts, such as Business Rules and Script Includes. The GlideSystem object (gs) is also a server-side object that provides methods for logging, debugging, date and time calculations, etc.

The Field Watcher is a debugging tool that allows you to monitor the values of fields on a form as they change due to scripts or other actions. It can be used to debug Business Rules, Client Scripts, and Access Controls, but not Script Includes. Script Includes are server-side scripts that define reusable functions and classes. They are not associated with any specific field or form, and therefore cannot be watched by the Field Watcher.

A module is the functionality within an application menu such as opening a page in the content frame or a separate tab or window. For example, Open is a module under the Problem application menu that opens a list of problem records. Modules are the second level navigation options for applications. Reference: Modules | ServiceNow Tutorials

Understanding Scoped Applications:Scoped applications in ServiceNow are designed to isolate and protect application-specific code and data. Server-side scripts within scoped applications can use the gs (GlideSystem) object for logging and debugging purposes. However, not all gs methods are appropriate or valid for scoped applications.

Valid Logging Methods in Scoped Applications:

gs.info():This method logs informational messages to the system log. It is commonly used for general-purpose logging when developers need to track execution flow or display debug data. Example:

gs.info('This is an informational log message.');

gs.error():This method logs error messages to the system log. It is used to indicate problems or issues encountered during script execution. Example:

gs.error('An error occurred during script execution.');

Incorrect Options Explained:

gs.debug() (Option B): This method is not valid in scoped applications. It is a legacy logging method available in the global scope but restricted in scoped applications.

gs.iog() (Option C): This is a typographical error and not a valid gs method in ServiceNow.

gs.logError() (Option E): This is not a recognized ServiceNow API method. To log errors, gs.error() is used instead.

Best Practices for Logging:

Logging should be meaningful and avoid unnecessary entries to keep logs clean and manageable.

Avoid excessive use of logging in production environments, as it can clutter the system logs and potentially degrade performance.

A spoke is a scoped application containing Flow Designer content dedicated to a particular application or record type. Flow Designer provides a set of core actions to automate Now Platform® processes. You can add application-specific core actions by activating the associated spoke.

 It is best practice to define the business requirements and the process(es) an application will manage as part of the application development plan. The following are some of the considerations to document as part of the business process:

Business problem. This is the description of the problem or opportunity that the application is intended to address or exploit. It should include the background, context, scope, and objectives of the problem or opportunity.

Data input/output. This is the specification of the data that the application will need to collect, store, manipulate, and display. It should include the data sources, formats, validations, transformations, and integrations of the data.

Users/stakeholders. This is the identification of the users and stakeholders who will be involved in or affected by the application. It should include the roles, responsibilities, expectations, and needs of the users and stakeholders.

Process steps. This is the definition of the steps and activities that the application will perform or support. It should include the inputs, outputs, triggers, conditions, and outcomes of each step or activity.

The following are not some of the considerations to document as part of the business process:

Project schedule. This is the estimation of the time and resources required to complete the application development project. It should include the milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and risks of the project. This is not part of the business process, but part of the project management plan.

Database capacity. This is the measurement of the amount of data that the application will generate and store in the database. It should include the data volume, growth rate, retention policy, and backup strategy of the data. This is not part of the business process, but part of the technical design and architecture of the application.

Available licenses. This is the number and type of licenses that the application will consume or require from the ServiceNow platform. It should include the license model, cost, and allocation of the licenses. This is not part of the business process, but part of the financial and legal aspects of the application. References: Application Development Process, Business Process Analysis

In ServiceNow, the Caller Access field is used to define the level of access that external scripts or applications have to a particular script include or application resource. The valid options for the Caller Access field are:

None: No special restrictions are applied; the resource is accessible as defined by other security settings.

Caller Restriction: Limits access to the resource, allowing only specified callers or applications to invoke it.

Caller Tracking: Enables tracking of which callers are accessing the resource, providing an audit trail for monitoring purposes.

Options such as "Accessible from," "Allow Configuration," and "Caller Permission" are not valid selections for the Caller Access field.

For more detailed information, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on Restricted Caller Access Privileges.

In ServiceNow, the Event Registry is a table that contains a record for every event recognized by the system. It allows ServiceNow to respond when these events are generated. By registering events, the system can automate activities such as triggering notifications or executing script actions when specific events occur. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

The other options are not accurate descriptions of the Event Registry:

B. The Event Log which lists all Events that have been generated: This describes the Event Log, not the Event Registry.

C. A Workflow which is launched every time an Event is generated; used to debug Events: This is not how the Event Registry functions.

D. The method used in server-side scripts to generate Events and pass parameters: This describes the gs.eventQueue() method, not the Event Registry.

For more detailed information, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on the Event Registry.

 Extending an existing table such as the Task table when creating a new application has several benefits, such as:

You can repurpose existing fields by simply changing the label. For example, you can change the Short description field to Summary or Title for your new table.

You can use existing fields with no modifications. For example, you can use the Assigned to, Priority, and State fields for your new table without changing anything.

Existing logic from the parent table will be automatically applied to the new table. For example, you can inherit the Business Rules, Client Scripts, and UI Policies from the Task table for your new table.

The only option that is not true is d) All of the parent table records are copied to the new table. Extending a table does not copy any records from the parent table to the new table. It only creates a new table that inherits the fields and logic from the parent table.

In ServiceNow, UI Actions are elements that facilitate user interaction within the platform, enabling users to perform specific actions such as form submissions, record updates, or triggering workflows. The valid types of UI Actions include:

Form Button: A button displayed on a form that, when clicked, executes a defined action.

Form Context Menu: An option added to the context menu of a form, providing additional actions related to the form's record.

Form Link: A hyperlink on a form that directs users to another page or executes a script.

List Banner Button: A button displayed in the banner area of a list, allowing actions to be performed on multiple records simultaneously.

List Choice: An option added to the list context menu for individual records, enabling actions on a selected record.

List Link: A hyperlink in a list that directs users to another page or executes a script.

Record Navigation Button: Buttons that facilitate navigation between records, such as Next and Previous buttons.

Options like "Workflow action" and "Form choice" are not recognized as standard UI Action types in ServiceNow.

For comprehensive details, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on UI Actions.

In ServiceNow, the gs object provides a range of methods for logging messages on the server side. However, the availability of these methods can vary depending on whether the application is global or scoped.

gs.info(): This method is available in scoped applications and is used to log informational messages to the system log. It provides a way to record general information during script execution.

Options A (gs.log()), B (gs.print()), and D (gs.debugLog()) are not available in scoped applications. These methods are either restricted to global applications or do not exist in the ServiceNow API.

For more detailed information, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on server-side scripting:

The baseline behavior of a table in a privately-scoped application is that all application scopes can read from the table. A privately-scoped application is an application that restricts write access to its tables and resources to scripts within the same scope. However, read access is allowed by default for all scopes, unless the administrator explicitly denies it using an Access Control rule. This allows for data sharing between different applications while maintaining data integrity and security. References: [Product Documentation | ServiceNow], [Advantages of Scoped Applications in ServiceNow]

Application Files are ServiceNow artifacts comprising an application. An application is a group of files and data that work together to provide a service or functionality. An application file is a specific type of file that belongs to an application, such as a table, a script, a form, a business rule, a UI action, etc. Application files define the structure, logic, and interface of the application. An XML export of an application’s table records, XML exports of an application’s Update Set, and CSV files containing data imported into an application are not examples of application files, as they are data formats that can be used to transfer or store information related to an application, but not the application itself. Reference: Application Files

"Schema map: Provides a graphical representation of the relationships between tables."

The Allow configuration Application Access option determines whether users can configure the application tables, such as adding or modifying fields, views, or indexes. The following is true for a table with the Allow configuration option selected:

Out of scope applications can create Business Rules for the table. This is true because the Allow configuration option grants access to the table configuration to any user who has the admin or personalize_dictionary role, regardless of the application scope. This means that users can create Business Rules, which are server-side scripts that run when a record is displayed, inserted, updated, or deleted, for the table from any application.

The following are not true for a table with the Allow configuration option selected:

Only the in scope application’s scripts can create Business Rules for the table. This is false because the Allow configuration option does not restrict the creation of Business Rules to the in scope application, as explained above.

Any user with the application’s user role can modify the application’s scripts. This is false because the Allow configuration option does not grant access to the application scripts, such as client scripts or script includes, to any user who has the application’s user role. To modify the application scripts, users need to have the admin role or the application’s admin role.

Out of scope applications can add new tables to the scoped application. This is false because the Allow configuration option does not allow out of scope applications to add new tables to the scoped application. To add new tables to a scoped application, users need to have the admin role or the application’s admin role and be in the application scope. References: Application Access, Business Rules

The Automated Test Framework (ATF) is a tool that allows you to create and run automated tests on the ServiceNow platform. The ATF uses test steps to define the actions and validations for each test. The test step that allows you to create a user with specified roles and groups for the test is the Create a user test step. This test step creates a temporary user record that is deleted at the end of the test. You can specify the user name, password, roles, and groups for the user. You can also use the Impersonate a user test step to switch to the created user and perform actions as that user.

The other options are not valid test steps for creating a user. The Create a role and Create a group test steps do not exist in the ATF. To create a role or a group, you need to use the Create a record test step and specify the sys_user_role or sys_user_group table. The Impersonation test step does not create a user, but switches to an existing user.

The server-side API debug log method available for scoped applications is gs.info(). This method logs informational messages that describe the progress of the application. Older methods such as gs.print() and gs.log() are not available in scoped applications. The gs.debuglog() method does not exist. The gs.info(), gs.warn(), gs.error(), and gs.debug() methods work in both scoped applications and global, and are therefore more versatile going forward in future versions. Reference: Debugging best practices

Application developers configure ServiceNow using industry standard JavaScript to extend and add functionality. JavaScript is a scripting language that enables developers to create dynamic and interactive web pages, as well as manipulate data and logic on the server-side. ServiceNow provides various APIs and frameworks for developers to use JavaScript to customize and enhance the functionality of their applications, such as client scripts, UI policies, business rules, script includes, UI actions, and more. References: [ServiceNow Docs - JavaScript in ServiceNow], [ServiceNow Docs - Scripting in ServiceNow]

The syntax used in a Record Producer script to access values from Record Producer form fields is producer.variable_name. A Record Producer is a type of catalog item that allows users to create records on any table from the service catalog. A Record Producer script is a server-side script that runs when a Record Producer is submitted, and can be used to set values or perform actions on the generated record. The producer object is a global object that represents the Record Producer form and its variables. The variable_name is the name of the variable defined in the Record Producer. References: [ServiceNow Docs - Record producers], [ServiceNow Docs - Record producer script]

The Bar Chart and Pie Chart report types can be created by right-clicking on a column header in a table’s list. These report types show how individual pieces of data relate to the whole using proportional bars or slices. You can also choose different aggregation methods such as count, sum, average, min, max, or percent. Reference: [Create reports from lists]

The data type of a field determines the format, validation, and display of the field value on a form. When selecting a data type for a field, you should consider the purpose and function of the field. The statements A, C, and D are correct for selecting a data type for a field. For example:

Use the Choice data type to limit options in a field: The Choice data type allows you to create a field that has a predefined set of options for the user to select from. The options can be displayed as a drop-down list, radio buttons, or checkboxes. For example, you can use the Choice data type for a field that indicates the priority of a task.

Use the Phone Number data type to automate phone number data validation: The Phone Number data type allows you to create a field that accepts and validates phone numbers. The field will automatically format the phone number according to the user’s locale and country code. For example, you can use the Phone Number data type for a field that stores the contact number of a user.

Use the string data type for a free-form text field: The string data type allows you to create a field that accepts any text input from the user. The field can have a maximum length of 255 characters. For example, you can use the string data type for a field that captures the short description of an incident.

The statement B is not correct for selecting a data type for a field. There is no Data data type in ServiceNow. To enter the date and time of day, you should use the Date/Time data type. The Date/Time data type allows you to create a field that accepts and displays a date and time value. The field will use a calendar widget and a time picker to help the user enter the value. For example, you can use the Date/Time data type for a field that records the due date of a task.

In ServiceNow, Access Controls (ACLs) are used to manage permissions for various database operations on tables and their records. The primary operations that can be controlled include:

Create:

Description: Permission to insert new records into a table.

Control: ACLs can be defined to allow or deny users the ability to create records based on roles, conditions, or scripts.

Update:

Description: Permission to modify existing records in a table.

Control: ACLs can restrict who can update records, ensuring that only authorized users can make changes.

Other Operations:

Read: Controls the ability to view records in a table.

Delete: Manages the permission to remove records from a table.

Incorrect Options:

Execute: Not a standard database operation controlled by ACLs in ServiceNow.

Query: While querying is part of the read operation, ACLs specifically control the read access rather than the query process itself.

In ServiceNow, the admin role includes all other roles implicitly. So if a user has admin, g_user.hasRole('any_role') returns true.

From ServiceNow Docs – g_user API:

“The hasRole() method returns true if the user has the specified role or is an admin.”

Record Producer Overview:Record Producers in ServiceNow are a way to create records through a simplified user interface. Instead of displaying a typical form, a Record Producer uses a user-friendly UI tailored for quick and intuitive data entry.

Correct Link Type:

The URL (from Arguments) option is used to direct the user to a specific URL, such as the Record Producer interface. You can configure the URL in the module to point to the Record Producer by providing its unique sys_id or name.Example URL:

/catalog.do?sys_id=

Incorrect Options Explained:

Content Page (Option A): This opens a CMS page and is not used for Record Producers.

Script (from Arguments) (Option B): This runs a custom script but does not link directly to a Record Producer.

HTML (from Arguments) (Option D): This is used for rendering custom HTML, not for linking to a Record Producer.

ServiceNow Developer Documentation on Modules and URL Arguments​.

To allow a module to open a form for new record insertion, the Link type should be set to “Create new record” or similar.

From Platform App Design Docs:

“Modules control navigation behavior via the Link type setting. To insert records, use the 'Create record' or 'New record' link type.”
