AnOrder Guidein ServiceNow is used to groupmultiple catalog itemstogether so that users can request all necessary items inone streamlined process.
TheEmployee Onboarding teamneeds a way for managers to order multiple items (computers, monitors, business cards, cell phones) for new employees.
AnOrder Guideallows managers to requestall necessary items in a single request, instead of ordering them one by one.
The guide can also userules and conditionsto determine which items should be included based on user input (e.
g., different job roles might require different devices).
A: Create Record Producer- Record Producers are used tocapture information and create records(e.g., Incidents, Requests) but do notgroup multiple catalog items togetherlike an Order Guide does.
C: Create Requested Item- A Requested Item (sc_req_item) is createdwhen a request is submitted, but it isnot the starting pointfor fulfilling this requirement.
D: Create Onboarding Bot- No such feature exists in ServiceNow; onboarding is typically handled viaOrder GuidesandHR Case Management.

AConfiguration Item (CI)is any component thatneeds to be managed to deliver IT services. In ServiceNow, CIs are stored in theConfiguration Management Database (CMDB)and can include servers, applications, databases, network devices, and more.
Tracking & Management: Helps organizations track IT assets and their relationships.
Service Impact Analysis: Identifies how an issue with one component can affect related services.
Change Management Support: Ensures changes to IT assets are controlled and well-documented.
Incident & Problem Resolution: Provides insights into troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
Hardware: Servers, network devices, storage systems.
Software: Applications, databases, operating systems.
Services: Business services, IT services.
Documentation: Policies, SLAs, knowledge articles.
Why Are Configuration Items Important?Examples of Configuration Items (CIs):
Incorrect Answer Choices Explanation:A. CSDM Items- TheCommon Service Data Model (CSDM)is a framework for structuring CMDB data, but individual components in the CMDB are calledConfiguration Items (CIs).
B: CMDB- TheCMDB (Configuration Management Database)is thedatabasethat stores Configuration Items, but it is not a CI itself.
D: Service Offerings- AService Offeringrepresents a set of capabilities available to customers but is not the same as a CI.
E: Asset- AnIT Assetrefers to aphysical or virtual resourceowned by the organization, butnot all assets are CIs (e.g., a computer mouse may be an asset but not a CI).

ADisplay Business Ruleis aserver-side scriptin ServiceNow thatruns before the form is displayed to the user.
Populatesg_scratchpad(Shared Data Object)
g_scratchpadis atemporary objectthat storesserver-side dataand makes it available toclient-side scripts (e.g., Client Scripts, UI Policies).
Example: If you need topass user-specific information(e.g., "Manager Name" or "User Role") from the server to the client, you useg_scratchpad.
Runs Before the Form Loads
Executesbefore data is sent to the client, ensuring thatpreprocessed datais available.
Improves performanceby reducing unnecessary server calls.
Does Not Modify Records Directly
Unlike other Business Rules (Before,After,Async),Display rules do not modify the recordbeing loaded.
They only preparedata for the client-side.
Primary Purpose of a Display Business Rule:
Example of a Display Business Rule:// Runs before the form loads
(functionexecuteRule(current, gScratchpad) {
gScratchpad.manager_name= current.manager.getDisplayValue();
})(current, gScratchpad);
This scriptretrieves the manager's namefrom the server andmakes it available on the client- sideusingg_scratchpad.manager_name.
AClient Scriptcan then useg_scratchpad.manager_nameto display the manager's name in a fieldwithout making another server call.
A: To monitor fields on a form, and provide feedbackIncorrect- This describesClient Scripts and UI Policies, not Display Business Rules.
C: To set fields to mandatory, hidden, and read-onlyIncorrect- These actions arehandled by UI Policies or Client Scripts, not Display Business Rules.
D: To define what happens on a form when a particular field changesIncorrect- This is the function of anOnChange Client Script, not a Display Business Rule.

Table Builderis a feature in ServiceNow that allows administrators tomanage table structures, relationships, and configurations.
The"Additional Actions"menu includes options such ascreating database indexes, which improve query performance.
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
Duplicate the selected form view (A)# Form views are configured separately and not via Table Builder.
Add a new module (B)# Modules are added in the Application Navigator,not Table Builder.
Schedule a job (D)# Jobs are created in theSystem Scheduler, not Table Builder.

AnUpdate Setin ServiceNow is a mechanism thattracks and packages customizations and configuration changesso they can be transferred between instances (e.g., fromDevelopmenttoTestorProduction).
It is primarily used ininstance migrationandchange management, ensuring that changes made in one environment can beapplied consistentlyin another.
Tracks Customizations- Records changes to system configurations, such as Business Rules, Client Scripts, UI Policies, and Workflows.
Facilitates Deployment- Enables controlled migration of changes from one ServiceNow instance to another.
Reduces Manual Effort- Instead of manually reconfiguring settings in different environments, administrators can package updates into asingle unit.
Version Control- Ensures that onlyintended changesare moved between instances.
Key Features of Update Sets:
Why the Correct Answer is A:A. An Update Set allows administrators to group a series of changes into a named set and then move this set as a unit to other systems(Correct) This accurately describes the primary function of anUpdate Set.
Administratorsgroupmultiple changes into anUpdate Set, export it, and apply it to another instance.
Example Workflow:
Admin makes configuration changes(e.g., modifies a Business Rule, updates a Workflow).
Update Set captures those changesin a structured format.
The Update Set is exportedfrom the Development instance.
The Update Set is importedinto the Testing/Production instance and applied.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:B. By default, an Update Set includes customizations, Business Rules, and homepages(Incorrect) Update Setsdo include customizations and Business Rules, but theydo notinclude homepages by default.
Dashboards and homepagesrequire a separate process usingsys_portal_page and sys_ui_page tables.
C: An Update Set is a group of customizations that is moved from Production to Development(Incorrect) Update Sets are typically movedfrom Development to Test/Production, not the other way around.
Best practice is to make changes inDevelopment, test them inTest/UAT, and then deploy them toProduction.
D: By default, the changes included in an Update Set are visible only in the instance to which they are applied (Incorrect) This is misleading becausean Update Set can be exported and applied to multiple instances.
Once an Update Set isimported and committed, its changes become active in that instance.
Best Practices for Using Update Sets:#Always preview an Update Set before committing itto ensure it contains the correct changes.
#Use Named Update Sets, not the default "Default Update Set," to track changes effectively.
#Ensure all related changes are included(e.g., dependencies such as script includes and tables).
#Test Update Sets in a sub-production instancebefore applying them inProduction.
