A Service Catalog may include which of the following components?
A. Order Guides, Exchange Rates, Calendars
B. Order Guides, Catalog Items, and Interceptors
C. Catalog Items, Asset Contracts, Surveys
D. Record Producers, Order Guides, and Catalog Items
The correct answer is D. Record Producers, Order Guides, and Catalog Items are common components of a Service Catalog in a IT Service Management context.
Record Producers are used to create new records, such as incidents or requests, directly from the Service Catalog. Order Guides provide a structured set of items that can be ordered together as a package, and Catalog Items are individual items that can be ordered separately.
Which one of the following statements applies to a set of fields when they are coalesced during an import?
A. If a match is found using the coalesce fields, the existing record is updated with the information being imported
B. If a match is not found using the coalesce fields, the system does not create a Transform Map
C. If a match is found using the coalesce fields, the system creates a new record
D. If a match is not found using the coalesce fields, the existing record is updated with the information being imported
The correct answer is A. If a match is found using the coalesce fields, the existing record is updated with the information being imported.
Coalescing is a process used during the data import in ServiceNow to identify an existing record to be updated based on a set of matching fields. Coalesce fields are fields that are checked to see if they contain matching values in the existing table record.
If a match is found using the coalesce fields, the existing record is updated with the information being imported. If no match is found, a new record is created with the imported information. Therefore, option C and D are incorrect. Option B is also incorrect because the system will still create a Transform Map even if there is no match found using the coalesce fields. The Transform Map determines the relationship between the import set fields and the target table fields.
As it relates to ServiceNow reporting, which of the following statements describes what a metric can do?
A. A metric is a report gauge used on homepages to display real-time data
B. A metric is a time measurement used to report the effectiveness of workflows and SLAs
C. A metric is used to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of IT service management processes
D. A metric is a comparative measurement used to report the effectiveness of flows and SLAs.
The correct answer is D. A metric is a comparative measurement used to report the effectiveness of workflows and SLAs (Service Level Agreements) in ServiceNow reporting.
In ServiceNow, a metric is a type of reporting element used to measure the performance of a process, activity, or workflow. Metrics are used to track progress, identify trends, and measure the effectiveness of SLAs. They are often displayed as scorecards or key performance indicators (KPIs) on dashboards or reports.
Option A is incorrect because a gauge is a type of graphical element used to display real-time data, but not a metric. Option B is incorrect because time measurements are not the primary function of a metric in ServiceNow reporting. Option C is incorrect because metrics are not solely used to evaluate the effectiveness of ITSM (IT Service Management) processes, but can be used in other areas of the platform as well.
The display sequence is controlled in a Service Catalog Item using which of the following?
A. The Default Value field in the Catalog Item form
B. The Sequence field in the Catalog Item form
C. The Order field in the Variable form
D. The Choice field in the Variable form
C. The Order field in the Variable form
–The correct answer is C. The display sequence is controlled in a Service Catalog Item using the Order field in the Variable form.
When creating a Service Catalog Item in ServiceNow, variables can be added to capture additional information from the user. The Order field in the Variable form controls the display sequence of the variable on the Service Catalog Item form. The lower the number in the Order field, the higher the variable will be displayed on the form.
Option A is incorrect because the Default Value field is used to set the default value for a variable, and not to control the display sequence. Option B is incorrect because there is no Sequence field in the Catalog Item form. Option D is incorrect because the Choice field in the Variable form is used to create multiple-choice options for a variable, and not to control the display sequence.
Reports can be created from which different places in the platform? (Choose two.)
A. List column heading
B. Metrics module
C. Statistics module
D. View / Run module
A. List column heading
D. View / Run module
–
The correct answers are A and D. Reports can be created from the List column heading and View / Run module in the ServiceNow platform.
A. List column heading: From a list view in ServiceNow, you can create a report by selecting the columns to include in the report and then choosing “Create a Report” from the list column heading menu.
D. View / Run module: The View / Run module allows users to create new reports or modify existing ones. From this module, you can create reports based on a table or a list view.
Option B is incorrect because Metrics module is not used to create reports, but rather to view and manage metrics and scorecards. Option C is incorrect because Statistics module is not a module in the ServiceNow platform.
Knowledge Base Search results can be sorted by which of the following? (Choose three.)
A. Most recent update
B. Popularity
C. Relevancy
D. Manager assignment
E. Number of views
The correct answers are A, B, and C. Knowledge Base Search results in ServiceNow can be sorted by Most recent update, Popularity, and Relevancy.
A. Most recent update: This option will display the results in descending order based on the date and time they were last updated.
B. Popularity: This option will display the results in descending order based on the number of times they have been viewed or accessed.
C. Relevancy: This option will display the results in descending order based on their relevance to the search query.
Option D and E are incorrect because Manager assignment and Number of views are not available sorting options for Knowledge Base Search results in ServiceNow.
What is the path an Administrator could take to view the fulfillment stage task list for an order placed by a user?
A. RITM (Number)>REQ (Number)>PROCUREMENT (Number)
B. REQ (Number)>RITM (Number)>PROCUREMENT (Number)
C. REQ (Number)>RITM (Number)>TASK (Number)
D. FULFILLMENT (Number)>RITM (Number)>TASK (Number)
The correct answer is C. The path an Administrator could take to view the fulfillment stage task list for an order placed by a user is REQ (Number) > RITM (Number) > TASK (Number).
In ServiceNow, a user can place an order for a Service Catalog item, which will generate a Requested Item (RITM) record. The RITM record is associated with a Request (REQ) record that is created when the user submits the request. When the REQ record is processed, it goes through various stages, such as approval, procurement, and fulfillment. Each stage may have associated tasks that need to be completed.
To view the task list for an order at the fulfillment stage, an Administrator can follow the path REQ (Number) > RITM (Number) > TASK (Number). The REQ (Number) is the number of the Request record associated with the RITM record. The RITM (Number) is the number of the Requested Item record generated when the user placed the order. And TASK (Number) is the number of the task associated with the fulfillment stage.
Which term refers to application menus and modules which you may want to access quickly and often?
A. Breadcrumb
B. Favorite
C. Tag
D. Bookmark
The correct answer is B. The term that refers to application menus and modules which you may want to access quickly and often is Favorite.
In ServiceNow, you can mark certain applications, menus, and modules as “favorites” to access them quickly and easily. This is especially useful if you frequently use certain areas of the application and want to avoid navigating through several levels of menus each time. To mark an item as a favorite, you can click the star icon next to the item. Once marked as a favorite, the item will appear in the Favorites section of the application navigator, making it easily accessible.
What is generated from the Service Catalog once a user places an order for an item or service?
A. A change request
B. An Order Guide
C. A request
D. An SLA
The correct answer is C. Once a user places an order for an item or service in the Service Catalog, a request is generated.
In ServiceNow, when a user orders an item or service from the Service Catalog, a Requested Item (RITM) record is created to track the details of the user’s order. This RITM record is associated with a Request (REQ) record that is created when the user submits the request. The REQ record tracks the overall progress of the request through its lifecycle, from submission to completion. The REQ record can also be used to track the associated tasks, approvals, and SLAs.
Option A (A change request) is incorrect because a change request is a different type of record used to manage changes in the system.
Option B (An Order Guide) is incorrect because an Order Guide is a set of instructions that guide users through the ordering process in the Service Catalog.
Option D (An SLA) is incorrect because an SLA is a service level agreement that defines the level of service that is expected and the consequences if the service levels are not met. While SLAs can be associated with requests in ServiceNow, they are not generated from the Service Catalog once a user places an order for an item or service.
From the User menu, which actions can a user select? (Choose three.)
A. Send Notifications
B. Log Out ServiceNow
C. Elevate Roles
D. Impersonate Users
E. Order from Service Catalog

C. Elevate Roles
D. Impersonate Users
Buttons, form links, and context menu items are all examples of what type of functionality?
A. Business Rule
B.UI Action
C.Client Script
D.UI Policy
The correct answer is B. UI Action.
Buttons, form links, and context menu items are all examples of UI Actions in ServiceNow. UI Actions are used to extend the functionality of forms and lists by allowing users to perform additional actions on a record or set of records. They can be used to perform server-side operations such as creating new records, updating fields, or deleting records, as well as client-side operations such as displaying alerts, opening pop-up windows, or executing JavaScript code.
Business Rules are used to automate and enforce business logic on data in the ServiceNow platform. Client Scripts are used to add client-side scripting functionality to forms and lists in ServiceNow. UI Policies are used to dynamically control the behavior of form elements based on field values or user roles.
Which of the following is true of Service Catalog Items in relation to the Service Catalog?
A. They run behind the scenes.
B. They are the building blocks.
C. They are optional.
D. They provide options.
The correct answer is D. They provide options.
Service Catalog Items are the options presented to end-users in the Service Catalog. They define the various goods and services that are available to be requested, and provide users with the ability to specify their requirements for each item through variables and associated workflows. Service Catalog Items are not optional, but rather the core building blocks of the Service Catalog.
While the workflows associated with Service Catalog Items do run behind the scenes, it is the Service Catalog Items themselves that are presented to end-users as options to request goods and services.
Table Access Control rules are processed in the following order:
A.any table name (wildcard), parent table name, table name
B.table name, parent table name, any table name (wildcard)
C.parent table name, table name, any table name (wildcard)
D.any table name (wildcard), table name, parent table name
The correct answer is C. parent table name, table name, any table name (wildcard).
Table Access Control (TAC) rules are processed in a specific order. The order is based on the specificity of the rules. Rules that are more specific are processed before more general rules. The order of processing for TAC rules is as follows:
- Parent table name
- Table name
- Any table name (wildcard)
This means that TAC rules with a more specific table name or parent table name take precedence over TAC rules with a less specific table name or parent table name. Rules with an any table name (wildcard) apply to all tables and are processed last.

Which ServiceNow products can be used to discover and populate the CMDB? (Choose two.)
A. Discovery
B. IntegrationHub ETL
C. Finder
D. CMDB Plug-in
E. CMDB Integration Dashboard
A. Discovery
B. IntegrationHub ETL
–
The correct answers are A (Discovery) and B (IntegrationHub ETL). Discovery is a ServiceNow product used to identify and map all networked devices and applications in an IT environment. IntegrationHub ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) is another ServiceNow product used to extract data from various sources, transform it, and then load it into the CMDB. Finder is not a ServiceNow product, CMDB Plug-in is a deprecated feature, and CMDB Integration Dashboard is used to view CMDB data, not to discover and populate it.
