Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a cross-scope privilege.
Cross-scope privileges are the standard way to share tables between scoped applications in ServiceNow. Option A is incorrect because there is no 'Accessible from' field on tables. Option B is incorrect because exporting/importing XML is a one-time transfer, not a real-time sharing method. Option D is incorrect because web services are not the best practice for table sharing; cross-scope privileges provide simpler and more integrated access.
