In ServiceNow,UI Actionsare used to add buttons, links, and context menu items to forms and lists, enabling users to perform specific actions easily. UI Actions are essential for customizing the user experience and streamlining workflow interactions.
UI Actions allow administrators to create interactive elements such as:
Buttons(e.g., "Save," "Approve," "Reject")
Form Links(Clickable links that trigger actions on a record)
Context Menu Items(Right-click menu options for records in lists and forms)
They can executeclient-side (via JavaScript)orserver-side (via scripts or GlideRecord API calls).
UI Actions enhance usability by allowing quick execution of tasks without navigating through multiple screens.
Understanding UI Actions in ServiceNow:
Why is Option B (UI Action) Correct?Buttons, form links, and context menu items are all created and managed using UI Actions in ServiceNow.
UI Actions define what happens when a button or menu item is clicked, including executing scripts, navigating to a different page, or performing an operation on a record.
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect?A. Business Rule
Business Rules runautomatically on the server-sidewhen records are inserted, updated, deleted, or queried.
They do not createbuttons, links, or context menu itemson the UI.
C. Client Script
Client Scripts execute on theclient-side (browser)and are used forform validation, field changes, and UI behavior modifications.
They do not create UI elements like buttons or menu items.
D. UI Policy
UI Policies dynamically changeform field behavior(e.g., hiding, showing, making fields mandatory, or read-only).
Theydo not add buttons or context menu items.
