Which TWO statements about ServiceNow UI Policies are true?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
UI Policies can set fields as mandatory
UI Policies are client-side scripts that run on the browser to dynamically control form behavior, such as making fields mandatory, visible, or read-only based on conditions. Option B is correct because UI Policies can set the 'mandatory' attribute on a field, forcing users to provide a value before submitting the record.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Why it's wrong here
False; database-level enforcement is done via Data Policies.
✓

✗
UI Policies run on the server side only
Why it's wrong here
False; UI Policies have a server-side condition and client-side actions.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse UI Policies with Business Rules, assuming UI Policies run server-side or can enforce database-level integrity, when in fact they are purely client-side and only affect the user interface.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
UI Policies are executed as part of the g_form API on the client, allowing real-time field manipulation without a server round trip. They can include multiple script actions (option D) that run sequentially when conditions are met, enabling complex logic like conditional mandatory fields based on other field values. A common real-world use case is making a 'State' field mandatory only when the 'Priority' is set to 'Critical'.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the SNOW-CAD exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
