SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question
A company has a custom table 'u_asset' and wants the 'Asset' module in the application navigator to show only records where 'active=true'. How can this be achieved?
⚠ Common exam trap
ServiceNow often tests the distinction between server-side record filtering (module Filter property) and client-side or security-based restrictions (ACLs, UI policies, client scripts), leading candidates to confuse access control with data scoping.

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
✓
Set a condition on the 'Filter' property of the module
The 'Filter' property on a module in the application navigator allows you to define a condition (e.g., 'active=true') that restricts which records from the underlying table are displayed when the module is clicked. This is the standard method for scoping module results without altering security or user interface behavior globally.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use an ACL to restrict access
Why it's wrong here
ACLs control record access, not the default filter of a module.
- ✓
Set a condition on the 'Filter' property of the module
Why this is correct
The filter property allows defining a condition for the module's list.
- ✗
Create a UI policy on the table
Why it's wrong here
UI policies affect forms, not list views.
- ✗
Add a client script to the list
Why it's wrong here
Client scripts run on forms, not on list views.
