Hello Bright:

What is an update set?

An update set is a group of customizations that can be moved from one instance to another. This feature allows administrators to group a series of changes into a named set and then move them as a unit to other instances. Update sets allow customizations to be developed in a development instance, moved to a test instance, and then applied to a production instance.

In short, update sets "record" your development efforts in ServiceNow so that you can move them from Development to Production.

When do update sets track your customization?

• Where the table has an update_synch dictionary attribute.
• Where there is a special handler to track changes to multiple tables.
• Where the administrator has not specifically excluded a field from updates.

In short, the update set captures the system configuration changes you make to the system. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Tables
• fields
• form layout
• list layout
• business rules, client scripts, script includes, and other scripts
• workflows
• system properties

What it does NOT capture is your transactional data like

• Incidents
• Users
• Groups
• Email

I hope that helps.
