The Form Designer is a graphical interface for creating and customizing forms. The following statements are true for the Form Designer:

To add a field to the form layout, drag the field from the Fields tab to the desired destination on the form. This will add the field to the form view without changing the table definition.

To create a new field on a form’s table, drag the appropriate data type from the Field Types tab to the form and then configure the new field. This will create a new column on the table and add the field to the form view.

To remove a field from the form layout, hover over the field to enable the Action buttons, and select the Delete (X) button. This will remove the field from the form view but not from the table definition.

The following statement is false for the Form Designer:

To add a section to the form layout, drag it from the Field Types tab to the desired destination on the form. This is incorrect because sections are not available in the Field Types tab. To add a section, click the Add Section button on the toolbar or right-click on the form and select Add Section. References: Introduction to App Engine Studio for Developers, ServiceNow Studio Overview, Form Designer

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

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.

When evaluating Access Controls, ServiceNow searches and evaluates:

From the most specific match to the most generic match. This is the correct answer because ServiceNow follows a top-down approach when evaluating Access Control (ACL) rules, which are used to restrict the access to the data and functionality of the ServiceNow platform based on the user’s roles and conditions. ServiceNow starts with the most specific match, which is the field-level ACL rule, then moves to the table-level ACL rule, and finally to the global or * ACL rule. ServiceNow grants access if any of the ACL rules evaluates to true, and denies access if all of the ACL rules evaluate to false.

The following are not correct descriptions of how ServiceNow searches and evaluates Access Controls:

Only for matches on the current table. This is not correct because ServiceNow does not only look for matches on the current table, but also on the parent tables and the global or * table. For example, if there is no ACL rule for the incident table, ServiceNow will look for an ACL rule for the task table, which is the parent table of the incident table, and then for the global or * table, which is the parent table of all tables.

Only for matches on the current field. This is not correct because ServiceNow does not only look for matches on the current field, but also on the table that contains the field and the global or * table. For example, if there is no ACL rule for the short_description field on the incident table, ServiceNow will look for an ACL rule for the incident table, and then for the global or * table.

From the most generic match to the most specific match. This is not correct because ServiceNow does not follow a bottom-up approach when evaluating Access Controls, but a top-down approach, as explained above. References: Access Control Rules, ACL Evaluation Order

Debugging client-side scripts in ServiceNow involves utilizing tools and methods that operate within the user's browser environment, as client-side scripts execute there.

A. gs.addErrorMessage(): This function is used in server-side scripts to add error messages to the session and is not applicable for client-side debugging.

B. g_form.addInfoMessage(): This client-side function displays informational messages to the user on the form. While primarily used for user communication, it can aid in debugging by confirming the execution of certain script sections.

C. jslog(): This function logs messages to the JavaScript log, which can be viewed using browser developer tools. It's a valuable tool for debugging client-side scripts by providing runtime information.

D. gs.log(): This function logs messages on the server side and is not available in client-side scripting.

Additionally, developers can use the debugger; statement within their client-side scripts. When the browser's developer tools are open, encountering this statement will pause script execution, allowing for step-by-step inspection.

Business Rule is server-side, so it uses GlideSystem API. gs.hasRoleExactly doesn't exist

In a Business Rule, the following returns true if the currently logged in user has the admin role:

gs.hasRole(‘admin’). This is the correct answer because gs is the GlideSystem object, which provides methods for performing system operations, and hasRole is a method that checks if the current user has the specified role. For example, gs.hasRole(‘admin’) will return true if the current user has the admin role, and false otherwise.

The following do not return true if the currently logged in user has the admin role in a Business Rule:

g_form.hasRoleExactly(‘admin’). This is not correct because g_form is the GlideForm object, which provides methods for manipulating forms, and hasRoleExactly is a method that checks if the current user has exactly the specified role and no other roles. For example, g_form.hasRoleExactly(‘admin’) will return true if the current user has only the admin role, and false if the current user has the admin role and any other role.

g_form.hasRole(‘admin’). This is not correct because g_form is the GlideForm object, which provides methods for manipulating forms, and hasRole is a method that checks if the current user has the specified role or any role that contains the specified role. For example, g_form.hasRole(‘admin’) will return true if the current user has the admin role or any role that contains the admin role, such as admin_ui or admin_script.

gs.hasRoleExactly(‘admin’). This is not correct because gs is the GlideSystem object, which provides methods for performing system operations, and hasRoleExactly is not a valid method of the gs object. There is no method that checks if the current user has exactly the specified role and no other roles in the gs object. References: Business Rules, GlideSystem, GlideForm

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.
