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.

In ServiceNow, Business Rules are server-side scripts that execute whenever a record is inserted, updated, deleted, or queried. However, certain actions can be configured without writing any script, using the Business Rule's user interface options.

The primary actions that can be configured without scripting are:

Set field values: This allows administrators to specify new values for fields when the Business Rule conditions are met. This is configured in the "Actions" tab of the Business Rule form, where specific fields and their desired values can be set without any scripting.

Add message: Administrators can configure a message to be displayed to the user when the Business Rule executes. This is done by selecting the "Add message" checkbox and providing the desired message text.

Options C (Set field values and write to the system log) and D (Set field values and generate an event) would require scripting. Writing to the system log involves using server-side APIs like gs.log(), and generating an event requires calling event generation methods—both necessitate scripting.

For more detailed information, refer to the official ServiceNow documentation on Business Rules:

Flow Designer variables can store record data and complex data using the following data types:

Integer: A whole number that can be used in mathematical operations.

Array: A collection of items that can be accessed by their index or iterated over using a For each action.

String: Any kind of text, such as email addresses or the text contents of a file.

The "Enforcing" mode ensures all cross-scope access is explicitly approved, logging and requiring manual approval if missing.

From ServiceNow Docs – Cross-Scope Access Controls:

“Enforcing mode logs cross-scope access attempts and blocks access unless explicit permission is granted.”
