SNOW-CAD Core Application Development Practice Question
Which THREE of the following are attributes of a Service Portal widget? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
ServiceNow often tests the distinction between widget-specific attributes (Server Script, Client Controller, HTML Template) and platform-wide features like Business Rules or CSS Styling, leading candidates to mistakenly include CSS or Business Rules because they are common in other ServiceNow development contexts.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Server Script
Server Script is a core attribute of a Service Portal widget because it runs on the server side when the widget is loaded or when a client-initiated action triggers a server call via the 'server.get' or 'server.update' options. It allows developers to query the database, perform business logic, and return data to the client controller, making it essential for data retrieval and processing within the widget lifecycle.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Server Script
Why this is correct
Server Script runs server-side to provide data to the widget.
