ServiceNow CAD - Certified Application Developer - ServiceNow

The ServiceNow platform is designed to create applications that use forms, workflow, and reporting to solve business problems. Forms are used to interact with data stored in tables, workflow is used to automate and orchestrate processes, and reporting is used to visualize and analyze data. The platform does not require low-level programming libraries or multimedia features, as it provides standard tools and technologies for application development.

 The application development plan is a document that outlines the scope, objectives, deliverables, and timeline of a software project1. It should include the following business requirements and processes:

Data input/output: This describes what data is needed for the application to function, how the data is collected, stored, processed, and displayed, and what outputs are generated by the application2.

Business problem: This defines the problem or opportunity that the application aims to address, the current situation, the desired outcome, and the benefits of the solution3.

Process steps: This details the steps involved in the application development lifecycle, such as planning, designing, testing, deploying, and maintaining the application4.

Users/stakeholders: This identifies the people who will use, benefit from, or influence the application, their roles, responsibilities, and expectations, and how they will be involved in the project5.

The elements of an Access Control are evaluated in the following order: Conditions, Roles, Script. The Conditions are a set of criteria that must be met for the Access Control to apply. The Roles are a list of user roles that are required to access the object. The Script is an optional script that can further restrict or allow access based on custom logic. If any of these elements return false, the Access Control denies access and stops evaluating the remaining elements. Reference: Access control rules

Ensuring that users receive email notifications in ServiceNow requires verifying specific attributes on the user record:

A. The Email field must have a valid value: This is correct. The Email field should contain a valid email address, as notifications are sent to the address specified in this field.

B. The user must not be locked out: While it's important for user access, being locked out does not directly impact the sending of email notifications.

C. The First name and Last name fields must have values: These fields are for identification purposes and do not affect email notification delivery.

D. Active must be true: This is correct. Only active users are eligible to receive email notifications. If a user is marked as inactive, notifications will not be sent to them.

E. Delegation must be enabled: Delegation pertains to assigning responsibilities to another user and does not influence the receipt of email notifications.

For effective email notification delivery, always ensure that the user's Email field contains a valid address and that the Active field is set to true.
