What table does ServiceNow use to store a visual task board type (freeform or guided)?

[mikeshuda]

Can anyone tell me where the VTB board type is stored? The logical place would seem to be the visual task board table (vtb_board) but I don't see a field with that value in it. I'm trying to determine how many freeform versus guided boards we have in our organization (over 300 VTBs exist now).

Hi,

The following link will help you to know about VTB tables.

 For Guided Visual Task Boards you can refer the below link.

For Freeform Visual Task Boards you can refer the below link.

Please mark it as correct / helpful if it helps for you.

Hi Pooja:

Thanks, I'm aware of the tables that comprise the application. What I'd like to find out is where is the flag stored that identifies the board as freeform or guided. To me the vtb_board would be the logical choice, but I don't see anything stored there that so indicates.

Regards,

Mike

Hello,

After 2 years i have the answer! Isn't that nice 😉

To answer your question as i understand, if the Task table(table) field is empty it's is a freeform/flexible board and if it's filled it is a guided board.

The main table is:

• vtb_board

Supporting tables are:

• vtb_board_label
• vtb_board_member
• vtb_card
• vtb_card_history
• vtb_lane
• vtb_task (Private task)

Stefan
