Welcome to ServiceNow! In this module, you will learn to:

• Obtain and log into a Personal Developer Instance (PDI)
• Identify the components of the ServiceNow user interface
• Open modules using the Application Navigator
• Use lists to open records for editing
• Use Filters to display a subset of a table’s records
• Open and use forms to create and edit records

To kick start your course you will build a request-fulfill application to manage requests for goods or services from multiple departments within an organization. Guided App creator will help to create Scoped Applications in ServiceNow. In this module you will learn to:

• To create tables, fields, formats and roles
• Use Studio Designer to design form layouts, fields, views and sections
• Learn to integrate Studio with Git repositories to manage source control for the application development process

Although you can do a lot on the ServiceNow platform without writing code, the ability to script is a powerful skill. You will use your existing JavaScript skills to add functionality to the platform. You will learn to write, test, and debug common script types including: Client Scripts, UI Policies, Business Rules, and Script Includes. In this module you will learn to:

• Describe the types of functionality scripting can add to an application
• Use the API reference to look up class and method information for the ServiceNow APIs
• Learn the Script Editor features including:
  • Real-time syntax checking
  • Scripting assistance

Client scripting is the first step to scripting in the ServiceNow platform, JavaScript is used to code scripts that run on the UI side of ServiceNow. In this module you will learn to:

• Describe the purpose of a client-side script and give examples of what client-side scripts can do
• Create, test, and debug Client Scripts
• Create, test, and debug UI Policy scripts
• Use the GlideForm and GlideUser APIs in scripts
• Determine whether to use UI Policy scripts or Client Scripts

Server-side scripting is the next important lesson in ServiceNow where you will learn to write scripts that run at the ServiceNow database level and perform operations on the server. Server-side scripting is primarily divided into two locations where the scripting is performed: Business Rules and Script Includes. In this module you will learn to:

• Write, test, and debug Business Rules
• Write, test, and debug Script Includes
  • On-demand/classless
  • Extend GlideAjax
  • Create a new class
• Use the server-side API including:
  • GlideSystem
  • GlideRecord
  • GlideDateTime
• Use the JavaScript Debugger to debug server-side scripts
  • Set and remove Breakpoints
  • Step into, out of, over
  • Examine variable values

Security is critical for keeping applications and their data safe from unauthorized viewing or use. Security should be built into applications from the beginning of the development process. It is key to learn to secure applications, modules, and tables from unauthorized user access. It is also necessary to learn to secure application tables against access by other scoped applications or web services. In this module, you will learn to:

• Create and use roles and groups
• Impersonate users to test authorizations
• Allow access to applications and modules
• Use Access Controls to protect table records from unauthorized access:
  • Create
  • Read
  • Update
  • Delete

• Debug Access Controls
• Use methods from the ServiceNow API to script security
• Set cross-scope access using runtime access tracking
• Use Application Access to:
  • Protect application records against access by other applications
  • Protect application records against access through web services
  • Allow other applications to create application files for the NeedIt application

Make applications more powerful by automating application processes. In this course, you will use workflows and Flow Designers. Workflows are the backbone of Change Management and Request Management in ServiceNow which unquestionably are among the top five most used modules within ServiceNow, learning to design and customize workflows is vital to be a successful developer. In this module you will learn to:

• Open and use Workflow Editor
• Create and edit workflows by adding and configuring activities
• Check out and publish workflows
• Use workflow contexts to debug workflow
