CIS-HR Core HR Applications And Employee Center Practice Test 6 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Which THREE components are required for the HR Knowledge base to function properly?

Accepted Answer

Categories. In ServiceNow HR Service Delivery, the HR Knowledge Base requires three foundational components to function: the Knowledge Base itself (C), which is the container that stores and organizes HR knowledge content; Categories (A), which provide the taxonomy/topic hierarchy used to classify and navigate articles within that knowledge base; and Articles (B), which are the actual knowledge records that deliver the HR content to employees and agents. Without the Knowledge Base container there is nowhere to store content, without Categories the articles cannot be organized or browsed by topic, and without Articles there is no content to serve. Assignment Rules (D) and HR Service records (E) are related HR configuration elements used for routing cases and defining HR services, but they are not required for the knowledge base itself to store and present articles.

Answer

Assignment Rules

Answer

HR Service records

Question 2

How are HR Skills assigned to an agent?

Accepted Answer

Via the User Profile/Skills management. HR Skills are assigned to agents through the User Profile/Skills management interface, where an HR agent's user record is updated with the relevant skills (e.g., Benefits, Payroll, Employee Relations). These skills are then used by HR Assignment Rules and routing logic to match cases to qualified agents. The skill assignment is a property of the agent's user profile, not of the HR service or catalog item.

Answer

Via Catalog Item

Answer

Via Assignment Rule

Answer

Via HR Service

Question 3

Which THREE are types of HR tasks?

Accepted Answer

e-Signature. In the context of HR service delivery platforms (such as ServiceNow HR Service Delivery), HR tasks are the discrete activities generated within an HR case or lifecycle event, and the supported task types include e-Signature (A), Approval (C), and Upload Document (D). e-Signature (A) is a valid HR task type because it prompts the employee or approver to electronically sign a document, such as an offer letter or policy acknowledgment, as part of the HR process. Approval (C) is a valid HR task type because it routes the request to a manager or HR approver who must approve or reject before the case can proceed. Upload Document (D) is a valid HR task type because it requires the employee to attach a required file, such as an ID or certification, to complete the HR request. Assignment (B) and Case creation (E) are not HR task types; assignment is a routing/ownership action performed on a case or task, and case creation is the act of opening an HR case rather than a task within it.

Answer

Assignment

Answer

Case creation

Question 4

What happens when an HR Case is assigned to a group with no active agents?

Accepted Answer

It waits in the group queue. When an HR case is assigned to a group that has no active agents, the case simply remains in that group's queue unassigned to any individual, waiting for an active member to pick it up or for reassignment. ServiceNow does not automatically escalate, delete, or return the case based on group membership alone. The case stays in the group's open queue until acted upon.

Answer

It returns to the requester

Answer

The system auto-assigns it to an admin

Answer

It is deleted

Question 5

If you want to ensure all HR Cases from the 'Payroll' category go to the 'Payroll' group, what should you configure?

Answer

Record Producer

Question 6

How do you provide a custom help text for a Record Producer variable?

Question 7

What is the 'HR Profile' table?

Accepted Answer

sn_hr_core_profile. The 'sn_hr_core_profile' table stores HR-specific information about an employee.

Answer

sys_user

Answer

hr_service

Answer

sn_hr_core_case

Question 8

Which THREE criteria are used to determine HR Criteria visibility?

Accepted Answer

Location. In ServiceNow HR Service Delivery, HR criteria visibility is determined by the criteria fields configured on the HR criteria record, which include Location (B), Department (C), and Company (D) — these are the standard user-profile attributes used to match an employee to the appropriate HR criteria and thereby control which HR services, catalog items, and knowledge articles they can see. Location (B) is correct because an employee's location (e.g., site or country) is a supported criterion for scoping HR content to that geography. Department (C) is correct because department membership is a core criterion used to target HR services to specific organizational units. Company (D) is correct because the company field on the user record is a supported criterion for segmenting HR content across legal entities or subsidiaries. Assignment group (A) is not a user-profile attribute used for HR criteria visibility — it applies to task routing, not to determining which HR content an employee can access. Incident status (E) is a transactional field on incident records and has no role in evaluating HR criteria visibility for a user.

Answer

Assignment group

Answer

Incident status

Question 9

How do you ensure that HR Services are translated for a global audience?

Accepted Answer

Localization/Internationalization framework. ServiceNow supports multi-language through the Localization framework.

Answer

Separate services for each language

Answer

Assignment rule per language

Answer

Manual translation of each field

Question 10

When a user submits a case, where is the HR Service name stored on the case?

Accepted Answer

HR Service field. The HR Service field on a case record is specifically designed to store the HR Service that the case is associated with. When a user submits a case through the HR Service Portal or via the HR Service catalog, the system automatically populates this field with the selected HR Service. This field is a reference to the HR Service table (sn_hr_core_service) and is used for routing, assignment, and reporting on HR services.

Answer

Topic Category field

Answer

Short Description

Answer

Template field

Question 11

An HR team reports that when a case is created via a specific Record Producer, the HR Service field is blank. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The HR Service field on the Record Producer is empty.. Record Producers require the 'HR Service' field to be correctly configured on the record producer form to trigger the correct process.

Answer

The catalog item is not published.

Answer

The user lacks the 'sn_hr_core.admin' role.

Answer

The HR Criteria is missing.

Question 12

You are configuring a Record Producer for a new HR Service. Where should you map the variable 'employee_department' to ensure it populates the 'Department' field on the HR Case record?

Accepted Answer

Record Producer Map to field. Map to field is the direct configuration option within the Record Producer variable settings.

Answer

Flow Designer

Answer

Business Rule

Answer

Assignment Rule

Question 13

sn_hr_core_group

Answer

sn_hr_core_case

Answer

Question 14

When configuring the Employee Center, which feature allows you to group related catalog items and knowledge articles for a better user experience?

Accepted Answer

Taxonomy. Taxonomy in ServiceNow Employee Center provides a hierarchical structure to organize catalog items, knowledge articles, and other content into categories and subcategories, improving navigation and user experience. It allows administrators to group related items logically, making it easier for employees to find what they need.

Answer

Portal Menu

Answer

Catalog Category

Answer

Service Portfolios

Question 15

Which role is required to manage HR Services and HR Criteria?

Accepted Answer

sn_hr_core.admin. The sn_hr_core.admin role is specifically designed to manage HR Services and HR Criteria within the HR Service Delivery application. It grants the necessary permissions to configure HR catalog items, criteria, and related HR workflows. While admin has broad system access, the question asks for the role required, and sn_hr_core.admin is the least-privilege role intended for this purpose.

Answer

itil

Answer

admin

Answer

sn_hr_core.basic
