CAD practice question 11 of 35

You are developing the MyApp application that has a table, Table

Answer options

A: When the MyApp application is installed on an instance, you want Table A's records to be installed as part of the application. Table A's records will be installed when:

B: Table A is active and extends the Task table Correct answer

C: Table A's records are added to the application record using the Create Application Files context menu item

D: Table A has an automatic number counter for new records

E: Table A is not included in the System Clone > Exclude Tables list

Correct Answer:

B. Table A is active and extends the Task table

Explanation

ServiceNow applications install only those table records that have been explicitly packaged as application data. In Studio the developer chooses File → Create Application File → Data, selects the table and the specific records, and saves. This action stores the chosen records in the application scope (sysappdata) so that, when the application is installed on any instance, those records are inserted automatically. Merely extending Task, having an autonumber, or avoiding the clone-exclude list has no effect on whether records accompany the application.

Why Incorrect

A. Table inheritance controls fields/behavior, not whether data is exported with an application.
C. Autonumbering concerns record creation mechanics, not packaging of existing data.
D. Clone-exclude list affects instance cloning, unrelated to application installation packages.
