1

Which TWO of the following are valid ways to modify the layout of a form in ServiceNow?

Medium
2

A large organization with 15,000 active users recently migrated from UI15 to UI16. Users are now reporting that form load times have increased significantly, especially on the Incident form, which has many sections and fields. The system administrator notices that the form is taking over 8 seconds to load. The administrator has checked the server logs and found that the majority of time is spent on 'getFormMeta' calls. The Incident form uses several UI policies, client scripts, and catalog client scripts. There are no business rules with heavy scripts on the table. Which course of action should the administrator take to improve form load performance?

Medium
3

An administrator wants to add a new application 'HR Service' to the application navigator with a custom icon. Which table stores the application menu and module definitions?

Medium
4

Drag and drop the steps to create a new UI Policy in ServiceNow into the correct order.

Medium
5

A large enterprise with over 10,000 users and 50,000 active incidents has been using ServiceNow for two years. Recently, the IT managers have noticed that the incident form loads very slowly for end users, especially when opening existing records. The form contains over 40 fields including several reference fields like 'Configuration Item', 'Assignment group', and 'Assigned to'. The system administrator suspects that the form is slow due to the number of fields and the way they are loaded. Additionally, the admin wants to improve the user experience by reducing clutter. The admin is considering several approaches: (A) removing fields from the default view to reduce the number of fields loaded, (B) enabling 'Form Layout Personalization' so users can hide fields they don't need, (C) creating a new view with fewer fields and assigning it to all users via a UI policy based on role, (D) using 'Form Sections' to collapse fields into tabs. Which approach is the most effective for improving form load performance while maintaining usability?

Hard

11

A ServiceNow administrator at a large enterprise is troubleshooting an issue with the incident form. A custom form section titled 'Sensitive Data' should only be visible to users with the 'security_admin' role. The administrator created a UI Policy with the condition g_user.hasRole('security_admin') and an action that sets the 'Sensitive Data' section's visible attribute to true. The UI Policy is active and set to run on load. However, users with the 'security_admin' role report that they do not see the section. The administrator verified that the section is configured with a 'Visible' condition that is blank, and the section's 'Roles' field is empty. What is the most likely reason the section is not showing?

Hard

Easy
54

A system administrator has created a UI Policy to make several fields mandatory on the incident form when the 'Category' field equals 'Software'. The policy works correctly when creating a new incident: if the user selects 'Software', the fields become mandatory. However, when viewing an existing incident and changing the category to 'Software', the fields do not become mandatory. The administrator verifies that the condition is correctly set to 'Category equals Software' and the action sets mandatory true on the target fields. The UI Policy is active and the order is not relevant. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

Medium
55

A large enterprise has extensively customized the Incident table with many UI Policies and Client Scripts. After a recent upgrade, users report that the incident form takes significantly longer to load, especially on records with many fields. The administrator investigates and discovers that multiple UI Policies share the same condition but are defined separately, causing the condition to be evaluated multiple times. Additionally, there are several client scripts that also evaluate the same conditions. The administrator wants to reduce page load time without altering the functionality. The instance is running on a mid-sized deployment with no budget for hardware scaling in the near term. Which course of action will best address the performance issue?

Hard
56

A company uses a custom application with a table named 'project_task' that contains several reference fields pointing to large tables (e.g., 'User', 'Department'). Users report that the 'project_task' form takes over 10 seconds to load, primarily due to the time required to fetch options for these reference fields. The administrator wants to improve the form loading performance without removing any fields or changing the user workflow. The instance is on a standard license and performance optimization is a priority. Which approach should the administrator take?

Hard

Which TWO methods allow an administrator to make a field read-only on a form? (Choose two.)

A new ServiceNow administrator is tasked with setting up a dashboard for the IT help desk. The team wants to see a list of their assigned open incidents and a pie chart showing incident priority. The administrator creates two separate reports: a list report for open incidents and a pie chart for priority. Then, the administrator creates a new dashboard and adds both reports to it. However, the dashboard displays the reports in a single column, stacked vertically. The team wants the reports to appear side by side for a better overview.

After the upgrade, several users report that the 'Assignment Group' field on the Incident form is missing for users with the 'itil' role. The field is still visible for administrators. The administrator checks the dictionary entry for the 'assignment_group' field and finds that it has no roles set. The form layout for the 'Default view' includes the field. The UI Policy that previously controlled visibility of this field has been deactivated. An audit of the upgrade logs shows no errors related to this field.
