Start Core HR Applications And Employee Center PracticeWhich TWO configurations should be performed to customize the Employee Center header branding?
Explanation: Option D is correct because the Branding Editor in ServiceNow's Employee Center (accessed via the portal's branding configuration) is the supported tool for updating the logo, banner image, and primary/secondary colors that drive the header's look and feel. Option E is correct because the portal theme record stores the SCSS/CSS variables and styling that render the header; modifying the CSS in the theme record lets you customize header branding beyond what the Branding Editor exposes. Option A is incorrect because User Criteria on the homepage only controls who can view the page, not its branding. Option B is incorrect because the HR Service definition governs HR case/fulfillment behavior, not portal header appearance. Option C is incorrect because a record producer defines a catalog item form, which is unrelated to header branding.
Which THREE steps are necessary to ensure that HR criteria correctly restrict access to an Employee Center topic?
Explanation: Option B is correct because the HR Criteria must be attached directly to the Topic record in the Employee Center configuration so the topic is scoped to the intended audience. Option D is correct because the 'Available for' field on the Topic record must be populated; without it, the topic is not exposed to any audience and the HR Criteria cannot restrict access as intended. Option E is correct because a custom HR Criteria record defining the target audience must exist before it can be applied to the topic. Option A is not required because global ACLs on the topic table govern table-level access, not Employee Center topic audience restriction. Option C is not required because HR Criteria evaluation runs automatically and does not need to be manually triggered to enforce topic access.
An HR agent reports they cannot view the 'HR Case' module in the application navigator. Which role is most likely missing from their profile?
Explanation: The 'sn_hr_core.case_reader' or 'sn_hr_core.case_writer' role is required to access the HR Case application modules.
You are configuring a new HR Service that requires an approval from the manager before it progresses to the 'Work in Progress' state. Where should this be defined?
Explanation: The approval from the manager before progressing to 'Work in Progress' should be defined on the HR Service record, as it controls the workflow and approvals for that service.
When configuring Employee Center (EC), you need to ensure that only employees in the 'North America' region see a specific banner. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?
Explanation: HR Criteria is the correct mechanism because it is specifically designed to target content (like banners, widgets, and quick links) to employees based on HR attributes such as region, department, or location. In ServiceNow HR Service Delivery, HR Criteria evaluates user profile fields (e.g., 'Location' or a custom 'Region' field) and controls visibility of Employee Center content. It is the native, most efficient way to scope banner visibility by region without custom code.
