Study Notes
- ServiceNow is categorized as an Application Platform as a Service (aPaaS).
- As an aPaaS, ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform used for building, deploying, and managing applications.
- ServiceNow applications live in cloud-based datacenters.
- Cloud-based datacenters allow users to access applications from various devices.
- In ServiceNow, the client requests data, and the server responds with the requested information.
- Clients (users) interact with applications that pull data from the server.
- Data from clients is stored in tables.
- The primary function of the ServiceNow database is to store and manage application data.
- All data, including user records, tasks, and application-specific information, are held in the ServiceNow database
Records
- A record in ServiceNow refers to a unique entry stored in a table.
- Every piece of information is stored as a record in a table.
Tables
- The Users [sys_user] table is commonly shared across multiple applications.
- It stores user-related information.
- The Incident table stores ITSM-specific work or tasks.
- Incident table holds records related to IT service management (ITSM).
- The HR Case table stores human resources-related tasks and work used to manage HR cases within the HR Service Management application.
- Each type of record is stored in a specific table like Incidents, Cases, and Users.
- The Group [sys_user_group] table stores information about user groups.
- Group table contains records that define different user groups in ServiceNow.
Database
- When a user requests information, the ServiceNow server searches the database and responds with the requested data.
- The server processes user requests by retrieving the necessary data from its database.
- "Everything in ServiceNow is a record in a table" means every piece of information, from users to tasks, is stored in structured database tables.
- ServiceNow organizes all its data in tables, where each entry is a record.
- When a user inserts a new record, record is stored in the appropriate table in the database for future retrieval and management.
- Each application uses dedicated tables for work items.
- ServiceNow applications have specific tables for managing their work items, such as Incidents for ITSM and HR Cases for HR Service Management.
- ServiceNow's core platform includes applications, tables, and a database.
- The platform highlights the applications, tables, and database.
