which is correct

Which ServiceNow feature is used to define the allowable values for a field in a table?

1. Dictionary
2. Business Rule
3. Reference Field
4. Data Policy

[Stig Brandt]

Data Policies, should be your choice:

1. Field-Level Validation:

   • Enforces rules such as making fields mandatory or read-only.
   • Ensures specific field values meet predefined criteria.

2. Universal Application:

   • Unlike UI policies, data policies apply across all data entry points:
     • User interface (forms).
     • APIs (e.g., REST, SOAP).
     • Data imports.

3. No Scripting Required:

   • Data policies are configured through a user-friendly interface, eliminating the need for custom scripts.

4. Performance:

   • Because they are server-side, data policies do not require client-side execution, making them efficient for backend data validation.

hi @onlineworkw 

In ServiceNow, the Dictionary is used to define the allowable values for a field in a table. The dictionary entries contain metadata about the fields, such as their data types, lengths, relationships (like reference fields), and the list of acceptable values (e.g., choice list values or reference table values).

I hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue, if yes please mark my answer helpful and correct.

thank you

Hi @onlineworkw 

The Correct Answer is - Dictionary as it is the place from where we will create new fields in the Table with the required data types.
