Business Rules run server-side, so the correct APIs come from the GlideSystem object (gs) rather than client-side objects like g_form. In server-side scripting, the platform provides a standard way to retrieve the currently logged-in user’s identity. The method gs.getUserID() returns the sys_id of the user associated with the current session. This is commonly used in Business Rules for auditing logic, conditional processing, field stamping (for example, setting a custom “last processed by” field), or enforcing business rules based on user identity. The g_form object is a client-side API available in Client Scripts and UI Policies, so any option using g_form is invalid in a Business Rule context. Likewise, gs.getUserSysID() is not the documented method name for this purpose. Using the correct server-side API ensures the script executes reliably regardless of UI context (classic UI, workspace, mobile), because it relies on the session and not on the form rendering layer.

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.

A spoke is a scoped application that contains flow actions that can be used in Flow Designer. Spokes allow developers to create reusable actions that can be shared across applications and instances.

Application developers can specify which ServiceNow page a user sees after submitting a new record using the Record Producer UI by writing a script in the Record Producer’s Script field: producer.redirect = “”;. This script sets the redirect property of the producer object to the URL of the desired page. For example, producer.redirect = “home.do”; will redirect the user to the homepage after submitting the record. The other options are not valid ways to specify the redirect page for a Record Producer. Reference: Populate record producer data and redirect users

Inbound email matching uses Watermarks and Subject lines (with record numbers like INC0010001) to associate emails with existing records.

From Email Handling Docs:

“ServiceNow uses Watermark IDs and subject lines containing record numbers to find the corresponding task or record when processing inbound email.”

An application admin is a role that grants full access to an application and its tables, scripts, and other components1. An application admin can create, modify, and delete any element of the application, as well as publish and install it2. An application typically has an application admin role that is automatically created and assigned to the application creator3.

In ServiceNow, a Record Producer allows users to create records in a specific table through the Service Catalog. After a user submits a Record Producer, developers may want to redirect the user to a specific page. This can be achieved by setting the producer.redirect property within the Script field of the Record Producer.

For example:

javascript

CopyEdit

producer.redirect = 'incident.do?sys_id=' + current.sys_id;

This script redirects the user to the newly created incident record after submission.

Option A is incorrect because configuring the module that opens the Record Producer does not control the post-submission behavior.

Option C is unnecessary for simple redirection purposes; creating an application property to store the URL adds unnecessary complexity.

Option D is incorrect because using window.redirect in a Business Rule is not appropriate; Business Rules run on the server side and do not have access to the client-side

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
