Tables are made up of which of the following?

In ServiceNow, tables are fundamental components of the platform's database structure. A table

consists of records (rows) and fields (columns) that store data.

1. Records (Rows) – Correct Option

A record is an individual entry in a table, similar to a row in a traditional database.

Each record represents a single entity (e.g., an incident, a user, a request).

Records are stored uniquely in the system and are identified by a Sys ID (a globally unique identifier).

2. Fields (Columns) – Correct Option

A field is an attribute of a record, like a column in a database.

Each field has a specific data type (e.g., string, integer, date, reference).

Fields define what type of information can be stored in a record.

Example: The Incident [incident] table

Sys ID

Number Short Description Caller State

123abc INC001 System crash

John D New

456def INC002 Network issue

Jane S Open

Records: INC001, INC002 (each row is a record).

Fields: Number, Short Description, Caller, State (each column is a field).

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

B . Lists – Incorrect

Lists are a view of table data but are not a part of the table itself.

A list displays multiple records from a table but does not define the structure of a table.

C . Forms – Incorrect

Forms are user interfaces used to view or edit single records.

A form allows users to interact with the data stored in a table but is not part of the table structure

itself.
