CAD Certified Application Developer - ServiceNow Questions and Answers

In ServiceNow, when importing data from external sources, the data is first loaded into an Import Set table, which acts as a staging area. To move this data into an existing ServiceNow table (known as the target table), a Transform Map is used. A Transform Map is a set of field mappings that define the relationships between fields in the Import Set table and fields in the target table. This mapping ensures that data is accurately transformed and transferred to the correct fields in the target table during the import process. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Transform Map.

The other options are not related to this specific function:

A. Business Service Management Map: This is not a standard term used in the context of data import and transformation in ServiceNow.

B. Data Sources: These define the origin of the data being imported but do not handle the field mapping between Import Set tables and target tables.

D. Schema Map Relationship Builder: This tool visualizes the relationships between tables in the database schema but is not used for mapping fields during data transformation.

For more detailed information, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on Transform Maps.

Self-invoking. Learn JavaScript!

This type of JavaScript function is known as self-invoking or immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE). It is a function that is defined and executed at the same time, without being assigned to a variable or being called by another function. It is often used to create a local scope for variables and avoid polluting the global namespace. References: [W3Schools - JavaScript Function Definitions], [MDN Web Docs - Immediately-invoked function expressions]

The statement that is not true for Modules is that every Module must be associated with a table. A Module is the functionality within an Application Menu that opens a content page in the content frame or a separate tab or window. A Module can be associated with a table, a list, a form, a report, a script, or any other type of page. For example, the Open Module under the Incident Application Menu opens a list of incident records from the Incident table, while the Overview Module under the Performance Analytics Application Menu opens a dashboard page with various charts and widgets. The other statements are true for Modules. Access to Modules is controlled with roles, as each Module can have one or more roles specified in its definition that determine who can see and access it. Modules open content pages, as they are links to different types of pages that provide information and functionality to users. Every Module must be part of an Application Menu, as they are the second-level navigation options for Applications. Reference: Modules

In ServiceNow, to create a module that directs users to a Record Producer (a simplified form for creating records), you should use the "URL (from Arguments)" Link Type. This configuration allows you to specify a direct link to the Record Producer.

Steps to Configure:

Navigate to Module Creation:

Go to the Application Menu where you want to add the module.

Click on "Edit Application Menu" and then "New Module."

Set Link Type:

In the module's configuration, set the Link Type to "URL (from Arguments)."

Define the URL:

In the Arguments field, provide the URL to the Record Producer. The URL typically follows this pattern:

arduino

CopyEdit

servicenow_instance_url/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=record_producer_sys_id

Replace servicenow_instance_url with your instance's URL and record_producer_sys_id with the sys_id of the Record Producer.

Explanation of Other Options:

HTML (from Arguments): Used to display custom HTML content. Not suitable for linking directly to Record Producers.

Content Page: Used to display predefined content pages within ServiceNow. Not applicable for direct Record Producer links.

Script (from Arguments): Allows execution of a script to determine the module's behavior. This is more complex and unnecessary for simply linking to a Record Producer.

gs.print() and gs.log() are older and not available in scoped applications, whereas gs.debug(), gs.info(), gs.warn(), gs.error() work in both scoped applications and global are therefore are more versatile going forward in future versions.

To receive email notifications, a user must have an active account and a valid email address in the user record. If either of these conditions is not met, the user will not be able to receive any email notifications from the system.

 Extending an existing table such as the Task table when creating a new application has several benefits, such as:

You can repurpose existing fields by simply changing the label. For example, you can change the Short description field to Summary or Title for your new table.

You can use existing fields with no modifications. For example, you can use the Assigned to, Priority, and State fields for your new table without changing anything.

Existing logic from the parent table will be automatically applied to the new table. For example, you can inherit the Business Rules, Client Scripts, and UI Policies from the Task table for your new table.

The only option that is not true is d) All of the parent table records are copied to the new table. Extending a table does not copy any records from the parent table to the new table. It only creates a new table that inherits the fields and logic from the parent table.

References:

[Extend a table]

Flow Designer is a graphical tool that allows users to automate processes in ServiceNow without coding. The following are supported by Flow Designer:

Call a subflow from a flow. This is a feature that allows users to invoke a subflow, which is a reusable unit of logic, from a flow. This can help simplify complex flows and avoid duplication of logic.

Use Delegated Developer. This is a feature that allows administrators to delegate the development and maintenance of flows and actions to users who are not administrators. This can help distribute the workload and empower non-admin users to create automations.

Run a flow from a MetricBase Trigger. This is a feature that allows users to trigger a flow based on a MetricBase query, which is a way of analyzing time-series data in ServiceNow. This can help automate actions based on data trends and patterns.

The following is not supported by Flow Designer:

Test a flow with rollback. This is not a feature of Flow Designer, but of Automated Test Framework (ATF), which is a tool that allows users to create and run automated tests on ServiceNow applications and features. ATF supports testing flows with rollback, which means reverting any changes made by the flow during the test execution. References: Flow Designer, Automated Test Framework

In ServiceNow, when a table is extended from a parent table, it inherits all fields from the parent. These inherited fields are integral to the structure of the child table and maintain the relationship between the parent and child tables. As a result, inherited fields cannot be deleted from the child table.

Key Points:

Inheritance Structure: The child table's structure is designed to include all fields from the parent table to preserve data integrity and ensure consistent behavior across the hierarchy.

System Constraints: ServiceNow does not provide an option to remove inherited fields from the child table. Attempting to delete such fields would disrupt the inheritance model and potentially cause system inconsistencies.

Alternative Approaches: While you cannot delete inherited fields, you can manage their visibility:

Form Layout: Adjust the form layout to hide inherited fields that are not relevant to users interacting with the child table.

Access Controls: Implement access controls to restrict visibility or edit permissions for specific fields based on user roles.

The following roles grant access to source control repository operations such as importing applications from source control, or linking an application to source control:

source_control. This is a role that allows users to perform basic source control operations, such as importing an application from a source control repository, updating an application from a source control repository, or committing changes to a source control repository.

admin. This is a role that grants full access to all the features and functions of the ServiceNow platform, including source control operations. Users with this role can also perform advanced source control operations, such as creating or deleting source control repositories, configuring source control properties, or resolving conflicts.

The following roles do not grant access to source control repository operations:

source_control_admin. This is not a valid role in ServiceNow. There is no separate role for source control administration, as this function is included in the admin role.

git_admin. This is not a valid role in ServiceNow. Git is a specific type of source control system that ServiceNow supports, but there is no role dedicated to Git administration. References: Source Control, Source Control Roles

In ServiceNow, when configuring a REST Message, the Endpoint specifies the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) where the REST request is sent. This URI points to the resource on the external system that the REST message will interact with, whether it's to retrieve, update, create, or delete data.

Key Points:

Endpoint Definition: The Endpoint is a complete URL that includes the protocol (e.g., HTTP or HTTPS), the domain or IP address of the external server, and the specific path to the resource. For example: https://api.example.com/v1/resources.

Dynamic Endpoints: ServiceNow allows the use of variables within the Endpoint URL, enabling dynamic substitution at runtime. This is useful when the exact resource path or parameters need to be determined during execution.

Configuration in ServiceNow:

Navigate to "System Web Services" > "Outbound" > "REST Message."

Create a new REST Message or select an existing one.

In the REST Message record, define the Endpoint URL in the "Endpoint" field.

Example Scenario:

If you are integrating ServiceNow with an external ticketing system to retrieve incident data, the Endpoint might be something like https://api.ticketingsystem.com/incidents/{incident_id}, where {incident_id} is a placeholder that gets replaced with the actual incident ID at runtime.

The ServiceNow REST API is a web service that allows you to interact with the ServiceNow platform using HTTP requests and responses. The ServiceNow REST API supports the following methods:

POST: This method allows you to create a new record or execute an action on the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the POST method to create an incident or run a script.

GET: This method allows you to retrieve information from the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the GET method to get the details of a user or a table.

DELETE: This method allows you to delete a record or a resource from the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the DELETE method to delete an attachment or a workflow context.

PUT: This method allows you to update a record or a resource on the ServiceNow platform. For example, you can use the PUT method to update the state of a task or the value of a system property.

PATCH: This method allows you to update a record or a resource on the ServiceNow platform by sending only the changes. For example, you can use the PATCH method to update the short description of an incident or the order of a module.

The method COPY is not part of the ServiceNow REST API. There is no COPY method in the HTTP protocol. To copy a record or a resource on the ServiceNow platform, you need to use the POST method with the clone action.

One of the uses of the ServiceNow REST API Explorer is to create sample code for sending REST requests to ServiceNow. The REST API Explorer is a tool that allows you to discover and test the ServiceNow REST APIs. You can select an API endpoint, set the HTTP method, parameters, headers, and body, and then execute the request. The REST API Explorer will show you the response status, headers, and body, as well as generate sample code for various languages and frameworks, such as cURL, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and more.

In ServiceNow, Access Controls (ACLs) are used to manage permissions for various database operations on tables and their records. The primary operations that can be controlled include:

Create:

Description: Permission to insert new records into a table.

Control: ACLs can be defined to allow or deny users the ability to create records based on roles, conditions, or scripts.

Update:

Description: Permission to modify existing records in a table.

Control: ACLs can restrict who can update records, ensuring that only authorized users can make changes.

Other Operations:

Read: Controls the ability to view records in a table.

Delete: Manages the permission to remove records from a table.

Incorrect Options:

Execute: Not a standard database operation controlled by ACLs in ServiceNow.

Query: While querying is part of the read operation, ACLs specifically control the read access rather than the query process itself.

The Bar Chart and Pie Chart report types can be created by right-clicking on a column header in a table’s list. These report types show how individual pieces of data relate to the whole using proportional bars or slices. You can also choose different aggregation methods such as count, sum, average, min, max, or percent. Reference: [Create reports from lists]

ServiceNow provides several methods to install applications onto an instance, each suited to different scenarios:

Import an Application from an XML File (Option A):

Description: Developers can export an application as an XML file and then import it into another ServiceNow instance.

Use Case: This method is commonly used for moving applications between instances, such as from development to production.

Procedure:

Navigate to "System Applications" > "Applications."

Click on the "Import" button.

Upload the XML file of the application.

A Display Business Rule has access to the current, g_scratchpad, and GlideSystem objects, but not the previous object. The previous object is only available to Before Business Rules4. References: Business Rule API

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-application-development/page/script/business-rules/concept/c_BusinessRules.html

Business Rule is server-side, so it uses GlideSystem API. gs.hasRoleExactly doesn't exist

In a Business Rule, the following returns true if the currently logged in user has the admin role:

gs.hasRole(‘admin’). This is the correct answer because gs is the GlideSystem object, which provides methods for performing system operations, and hasRole is a method that checks if the current user has the specified role. For example, gs.hasRole(‘admin’) will return true if the current user has the admin role, and false otherwise.

The following do not return true if the currently logged in user has the admin role in a Business Rule:

g_form.hasRoleExactly(‘admin’). This is not correct because g_form is the GlideForm object, which provides methods for manipulating forms, and hasRoleExactly is a method that checks if the current user has exactly the specified role and no other roles. For example, g_form.hasRoleExactly(‘admin’) will return true if the current user has only the admin role, and false if the current user has the admin role and any other role.

g_form.hasRole(‘admin’). This is not correct because g_form is the GlideForm object, which provides methods for manipulating forms, and hasRole is a method that checks if the current user has the specified role or any role that contains the specified role. For example, g_form.hasRole(‘admin’) will return true if the current user has the admin role or any role that contains the admin role, such as admin_ui or admin_script.

gs.hasRoleExactly(‘admin’). This is not correct because gs is the GlideSystem object, which provides methods for performing system operations, and hasRoleExactly is not a valid method of the gs object. There is no method that checks if the current user has exactly the specified role and no other roles in the gs object. References: Business Rules, GlideSystem, GlideForm

A module is the functionality within an application menu such as opening a page in the content frame or a separate tab or window. For example, Open is a module under the Problem application menu that opens a list of problem records. Modules are the second level navigation options for applications.

Access Control scripts are server-side scripts that run when an Access Control rule is evaluated. They can use the gs and current objects to access the GlideSystem and GlideRecord methods, respectively. Some of the useful methods in Access Control scripts are:

gs.hasRole() - This method checks if the current user has a specified role. It returns true if the user has the role, and false otherwise. For example, gs.hasRole(‘admin’) will return true if the user is an administrator, and false otherwise.

current.isNewRecord() - This method checks if the current record is a new record that has not been inserted into the database yet. It returns true if the record is new, and false otherwise. For example, current.isNewRecord() will return true if the record is being created, and false if the record is being updated or deleted.

The methods g_user.hasRole() and current.isNew() are not part of the server-side scripting API. They are part of the client-side scripting API, which is used in Client Scripts and UI Policies. They cannot be used in Access Control scripts.

Application developers configure ServiceNow using industry standard JavaScript to extend and add functionality. JavaScript is a scripting language that enables developers to create dynamic and interactive web pages, as well as manipulate data and logic on the server-side. ServiceNow provides various APIs and frameworks for developers to use JavaScript to customize and enhance the functionality of their applications, such as client scripts, UI policies, business rules, script includes, UI actions, and more. References: [ServiceNow Docs - JavaScript in ServiceNow], [ServiceNow Docs - Scripting in ServiceNow]

In ServiceNow, extending a table means creating a new table (child class) that inherits properties from an existing table (parent class). This inheritance includes fields, business logic, and other configurations, allowing for efficient reuse and customization.

Key Points:

Field Inheritance: The child table inherits all fields from the parent table. For example, if you extend the Task table, your new table will include fields like "short_description" and "priority."

Business Logic Inheritance: The child table also inherits business rules, client scripts, and other logic defined on the parent table, ensuring consistent behavior across related tables.

Access Controls: Access controls are not ignored; instead, the child table inherits the parent table's access controls. However, you can define additional access controls specific to the child table as needed.

Customization: While the child table inherits many properties, you can add new fields, scripts, and behaviors to tailor it to specific requirements without affecting the parent table.

Application Files are ServiceNow artifacts comprising an application. An application is a group of files and data that work together to provide a service or functionality. An application file is a specific type of file that belongs to an application, such as a table, a script, a form, a business rule, a UI action, etc. Application files define the structure, logic, and interface of the application. An XML export of an application’s table records, XML exports of an application’s Update Set, and CSV files containing data imported into an application are not examples of application files, as they are data formats that can be used to transfer or store information related to an application, but not the application itself. Reference: Application Files

The Event Registry is a table that stores the definitions of all the Events that can be triggered or processed by the ServiceNow system1. The Event Registry allows ServiceNow to react when Events are generated by executing actions such as sending notifications, running scripts, or starting workflows2. The Event Registry also provides information about the Event parameters, description, and source3.

A transform map determines the relationships between fields in an import set table and fields in an existing ServiceNow table. It also specifies how to transform the imported data before mapping it to the target table.

The fastest way to create and configure a Record Producer is to open the table in the Table records and select the Add to Service Catalog Related Link. This will automatically create a Record Producer with the same fields as the table and add it to the Service Catalog. You can then modify the Record Producer as needed. The other options require more steps and manual configuration. Reference: Create a record producer

Application Access is a feature that allows you to control the access level of other application scopes to your application’s data tables. By selecting the Allow access to this table via web services option, you can enable other application scopes to access your data tables using web services, such as SOAP or REST. However, the user performing the query via web services must have the correct permissions to access the table’s records. The user must have the appropriate roles and access controls to perform the operations on the table, such as create, read, write, or delete.

The other statements are not true when this option is selected. This option does not restrict the ability to delete records via web services, nor does it allow records to be always read. The access to the records depends on the user’s permissions and the web service method. This option also does not restrict access only to SOAP web services, but applies to both SOAP and REST web services. Finally, this option is not the only way to enable web service access to the table’s records. Even when this option is not selected, users with the correct permissions can use web services to access the table’s records, as long as they specify the application scope in the web service request.

The Field Watcher is a debugging tool that allows you to monitor the values of fields on a form as they change due to scripts or other actions. It can be used to debug Business Rules, Client Scripts, and Access Controls, but not Script Includes. Script Includes are server-side scripts that define reusable functions and classes. They are not associated with any specific field or form, and therefore cannot be watched by the Field Watcher.

References:

Field Watcher

Script Includes

In ServiceNow, the Caller Access field is used to define the level of access that external scripts or applications have to a particular script include or application resource. The valid options for the Caller Access field are:

None: No special restrictions are applied; the resource is accessible as defined by other security settings.

Caller Restriction: Limits access to the resource, allowing only specified callers or applications to invoke it.

Caller Tracking: Enables tracking of which callers are accessing the resource, providing an audit trail for monitoring purposes.

Options such as "Accessible from," "Allow Configuration," and "Caller Permission" are not valid selections for the Caller Access field.

For more detailed information, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on Restricted Caller Access Privileges.

"Restricted caller access [sys_restricted_caller_access] records track cross-scope applications or scripts that request access to an application, application resource, or event in the Now Platform." <<== this is the third sentence down in the following link: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-application-development/page/build/applications/concept/restricted-caller-access-privilege.html

The Automated Test Framework (ATF) is a tool that allows you to create and run automated tests on the ServiceNow platform. The ATF uses test steps to define the actions and validations for each test. The test step that allows you to create a user with specified roles and groups for the test is the Create a user test step. This test step creates a temporary user record that is deleted at the end of the test. You can specify the user name, password, roles, and groups for the user. You can also use the Impersonate a user test step to switch to the created user and perform actions as that user.

The other options are not valid test steps for creating a user. The Create a role and Create a group test steps do not exist in the ATF. To create a role or a group, you need to use the Create a record test step and specify the sys_user_role or sys_user_group table. The Impersonation test step does not create a user, but switches to an existing user.

In ServiceNow, the Application Picker is a user interface element that allows developers to select the active application they are working on. The selected application determines the Application Scope, which defines the boundaries within which application artifacts (like tables, scripts, and UI components) reside and operate.

A. Selecting Global in the Application Picker sets the Application Scope to Incident: This is incorrect. Selecting "Global" sets the scope to the global application, not specifically to the Incident application.

B. Global is a reserved application that does not appear in the Application Picker: This is incorrect. The "Global" application is available in the Application Picker and represents the global scope.

C. Selecting an application from the Application Picker sets the Application Scope: This is correct. Choosing an application from the Application Picker establishes that application's scope as the current context for development and configuration.

D. Selecting an application from the Application Picker does not set the Application Scope: This is incorrect. The Application Picker directly influences the current Application Scope.

For more information, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on Application Scope.

Inbound Action scripts are server-side scripts that run when an email is received by the system. They can use the current object to access the record that is created or updated by the email, and the email object to access the properties and methods of the email message. The previous and event objects are not available in Inbound Action scripts. The producer object is only available in Record Producer scripts, which are used to create records from a service catalog item.

 When configuring a REST Message, the Endpoint is:

The URI of the data to be accessed, queried, or modified. This is the correct answer because the Endpoint is the part of the REST Message that specifies the location and the resource of the REST provider. The Endpoint is composed of the base URL and the resource path, which can include query parameters or variables. For example, the Endpoint for a REST Message that retrieves the weather information for a city from a web service could be https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London.

The following are not correct definitions of the Endpoint when configuring a REST Message:

The commands to the REST script to stop execution. This is not correct because the commands to the REST script to stop execution are not part of the REST Message, but of the Scripted REST API, which is a feature that allows users to create custom REST endpoints on the ServiceNow platform. The commands to the REST script to stop execution are methods of the RESTAPIResponse object, such as setStatusCode, setError, or complete.

Information about the format of the returned data. This is not correct because the information about the format of the returned data is not part of the Endpoint, but of the HTTP headers or the Accept field of the REST Message. The HTTP headers or the Accept field can be used to specify the content type of the response, such as JSON, XML, or HTML.

The response from the provider indicating there is no data to send back. This is not correct because the response from the provider indicating there is no data to send back is not part of the Endpoint, but of the HTTP status code or the response body of the REST Message. The HTTP status code or the response body can be used to indicate the result of the REST request, such as 200 OK, 404 Not Found, or 500 Internal Server Error. References: REST Messages, Scripted REST APIs

The source control operation used to store local changes on an instance for later application is called a stash. A stash is a temporary storage area for uncommitted changes that are not ready to be pushed to a remote repository. Developers can use stashes to save their work in progress without committing it to the local repository or discarding it. Stashes can be applied later to restore the changes to the working directory, or dropped if they are no longer needed.

g_form.showFieldMsg("field_name", "Hello World", "error"); Puts "Hello World" in an error message **below the specified field**. g_form.addInfoMessage() or g_form.addErrorMessage() place a blue box message at the top of the screen. Pg 126 of the CAD handbook

The method that prints a message on a blue background to the top of the current form by default is g_form.addInfoMessage(). The g_form object is a global object that provides access to form fields and UI elements on a form. The addInfoMessage() method is a method of the g_form object that displays an informational message next to the form header. The message has a blue background color by default, unless it is overridden by a CSS style. The addInfoMessage() method takes one argument, which is the message text to display.

A workflow is a tool that allows you to automate processes on the ServiceNow platform. A workflow consists of activities and transitions that define the logic and flow of the process. A workflow context is an instance of a workflow that is generated from a workflow version, executes activities, and follows transitions. A workflow context is associated with a specific record on a table and tracks the state and progress of the workflow. You can view and manage the workflow contexts from the Workflow Contexts module or the Workflow Contexts related list on a record.

The other options are not valid definitions of a workflow context. A checked out workflow is a workflow that is being edited by a user and has not been published yet. The table and conditions for a workflow are the criteria that determine when a workflow should run on a record. The business reason or process for a workflow is the purpose and function of the workflow.

In ServiceNow, UI Actions are elements such as buttons, links, and context menu items that allow users to perform actions on records or lists. The three valid UI Action types are:

1. List Banner Button (Option A)

Description: A button that appears in the list view header, allowing users to trigger an action affecting multiple records at once.

Example: A "Bulk Approve" button that processes selected records.

2. Form Button (Option B)

Description: A button that appears on a form, allowing users to trigger actions related to the current record.

Example: A "Submit for Approval" button on an incident form.

3. Record Navigation Button (Option D)

Description: A button that helps users navigate between related records.

Example: A "Go to Parent Record" button that redirects users to a linked record.

Incorrect Options:

Form Choice (Option C):

Not a UI Action type. Choices are typically used in choice fields (dropdowns) rather than UI actions.

List Choice (Option E):

Not a valid UI Action type. Similar to "Form Choice," it pertains to field options rather than UI elements.

Workflow Action (Option F):

Workflows are process automation tools, not UI Actions. They are not directly related to buttons or links that users interact with.

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

Options for Creating Tables in Guided Application Creator:

Create a table from scratch: This option allows you to define a completely new table with custom fields and configurations.

Create a table from a template: You can use predefined table templates to speed up table creation. Templates often include pre-configured fields and settings.

Extend a table: This allows you to create a new table by inheriting fields and functionality from an existing table, enabling reuse and consistency.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option A (Link to external tables): Linking to external tables is not an option provided in the Guided Application Creator; external data is typically accessed through integration methods.

Option D (Run import jobs): Import jobs are used for data migration, not for table creation in the Guided Application Creator.

Option E (Upload a spreadsheet): While uploading a spreadsheet can create tables, this is a feature of Import Sets, not the Guided Application Creator.

Option F (Use API calls): API calls are for integration and not an option for creating tables directly in the Guided Application Creator.

The application name is not required to link a ServiceNow application to a Git repository. You only need to provide the URL, user name, and password of the Git repository, as well as the branch name and the authentication type. The application name is automatically generated based on the scope name of your application. Reference: [Link an application to a Git repository]

The step that does not belong when creating a Utils Script Include is identifying the table. A Script Include is a server-side script that can contain one or more classes or functions that can be reused by other scripts. It does not depend on a specific table, but can access any table through GlideRecord or other APIs. The other steps are part of creating a Script Include class and its prototype object.

The objects that you can use in a Scheduled Script Execution (Scheduled Job) script are GlideSystem and GlideRecord. GlideSystem provides methods for performing system operations, such as logging, running background scripts, or getting system information. GlideRecord provides methods for working with records in the database, such as querying, updating, inserting, or deleting records. The current object is not available in Scheduled Script Execution scripts, as it refers to the current record on a form or list. The GlideUser object is also not available, as it refers to the current user session. Reference: Scheduled Script Execution, GlideSystem, GlideRecord

 Tables that extend a table inherit the parent’s fields. Extending a table means creating a child table that shares the same columns and business logic as the parent table. For example, the Incident table extends the Task table, which means that all fields defined on the Task table are also available on the Incident table. Extending a table allows for reusing existing fields and behaviors without duplicating them on multiple tables. Reference: Table extension and classes

The syntax used in a Record Producer script to access values from Record Producer form fields is producer.variable_name. A Record Producer is a type of catalog item that allows users to create records on any table from the service catalog. A Record Producer script is a server-side script that runs when a Record Producer is submitted, and can be used to set values or perform actions on the generated record. The producer object is a global object that represents the Record Producer form and its variables. The variable_name is the name of the variable defined in the Record Producer.
