Subject Content

ServiceNow Fundamentals

• Explore and Configure ServiceNow Applications through ServiceNow Fundamentals taught as Instructor-Led Training (ILT)
• During this subject students will:
  • learn about the NOW Platform® User Interface
  • gain a basic knowledge of the database schema
  • understand uses for commonly accessed applications, and
  • be introduced to advanced features and functionality, such as scripting and application development.  

Application Development Fundamentals

• This hands‑on course will provide training and lab work to support application development fundamentals in ServiceNow. Attendees will build an award‑winning loaner equipment application by working through a checklist of considerations for application creation, including decisions such as creating an application table vs. extending an existing table, and determining how users will interact with the application.
• Detailed labs that reinforce good practices in these areas support the topics covered in class:
• Design an application table: to extend or not to extend?
• Create and implement forms and views for a positive user experience
• Manage application business logic with scripts
• Control access to the application and its records
• Send notifications to stakeholders and collaborators
• Use Flow Designer to automate applications
• Integrate to ServiceNow and to public web services
• Use the Service Catalog to provide access to applications
• Test the application manually and automatically
• Use the Application Repository to install/uninstall applications
