SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question
Which of the following is NOT a valid type of UI action?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse UI actions with other UI elements like tabs or UI policies, assuming 'tab' is a valid UI action type because tabs are common in ServiceNow forms, but ServiceNow explicitly restricts UI action types to button, context_menu, and link.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
tab
In ServiceNow, UI actions are defined as scripts that execute when a user interacts with a UI element such as a button, link, or context menu item. The 'tab' type is not a valid UI action type; UI actions can be of type 'button', 'context_menu', or 'link', but not 'tab'. Tabs are separate UI elements managed through form layouts or UI policies, not through the UI Actions table.
