SNOW-CAD Working with Data Practice Question
Which TWO data types are available in ServiceNow for storing date and time values?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'Duration' with a time-of-day value, but Duration is specifically for elapsed time intervals (e.g., 1d 2h 30m), not for storing a point in time like a date or time of day.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Date/Time
ServiceNow provides two dedicated data types for storing date and time values: 'Date' for calendar dates without time, and 'Date/Time' for combined date and time values. These are the correct choices because they directly map to the platform's field types used in tables like Task and Incident for tracking creation and due dates.
