ServiceNow Certified Application Developer - ServiceNow CAD Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (October 2025)

The ServiceNow Store is a marketplace for free and paid certified ServiceNow applications and integrations. The ServiceNow Store provides customers with access to Now Certified enterprise workflow apps from partners that complement and extend ServiceNow products and solutions. Customers can browse, try, buy, and deploy apps and integrations that suit their needs and enhance their ServiceNow experience. The ServiceNow Store is not the source for ServiceNow Community created developer content, as that is available on the Developer Portal or the Share site. The ServiceNow Store is not a downloadable content ServiceNow script archive, as that is available on the Script Library or the Script Repository. The ServiceNow Store is not an alternate name for the ServiceNow Developer Share site, as that is a separate site where developers can share applications, code snippets, UI pages, etc. Reference: ServiceNow Store

g_user is a global object available only in the client-side environment (Client Scripts, UI Policies, UI Actions).

From Development Handbook 4.0.4, p. 204:

“g_user is only available client-side. It returns session-specific info like roles and user ID. Not usable in Business Rules or Script Includes.”

In ServiceNow, when developing within a privately-scoped application, certain logging methods are recommended for use in server-side scripts to ensure proper logging and debugging. The GlideSystem (gs) object provides several methods for this purpose:

gs.debug():

Description: Logs messages at the "Debug" level.

Usage: gs.debug('Debug message here');

Purpose: Useful for logging detailed information during development and troubleshooting. These messages are typically only visible when the system's logging level is set to "Debug."

gs.error():

Description: Logs messages at the "Error" level.

Usage: gs.error('Error message here');

Purpose: Used to log error messages that indicate a problem that might still allow the application to continue running.

gs.warn():

Description: Logs messages at the "Warning" level.

Usage: gs.warn('Warning message here');

Purpose: Used to log potentially harmful situations that are not necessarily errors but may require attention.

gs.info():

Description: Logs messages at the "Information" level.

Usage: gs.info('Information message here');

Purpose: Used to log informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at a coarse-grained level.

Deprecated or Unsupported Methods in Scoped Applications:

gs.log():

Description: This method is not supported in scoped applications. It is restricted to the global scope and is not accessible from a private scope. Therefore, it should be avoided in privately-scoped applications.

To allow a module to open a form for new record insertion, the Link type should be set to “Create new record” or similar.

From Platform App Design Docs:

“Modules control navigation behavior via the Link type setting. To insert records, use the 'Create record' or 'New record' link type.”

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.
