Allow Configuration
The Allow Configuration option allows out-of-scope applications to create application files for tables:
Creating Business Rules
When Accessible from is All application scopes and Can read is selected, out-of-scope applications can create Business rules for the table.
When creating Business Rules in out-of-scope applications, a table will appear in the Table choice list only if permitted. In this example, a Business Rule in out-of-scope application is being created for the NeedIt table.
Creating New Fields
When Accessible from is All application scopes and Can read and Allow configuration are selected, out-of-scope applications can create fields for the table.
To add new fields to a table, open the table for edit from the out-of-scope application in the main ServiceNow browser window (not Studio) using System Definition > Tables. Open the table of interest for editing. When you see the out-of-scope message, ignore it.
Scroll to the Related Links and click the Design Form link. In the Form Designer, you must create a new View or section to add fields to an out-of-scope table.
If the Field Navigator contains only the Fields tab, creating new fields is not allowed for the target table.
If the Field Navigator contains both the Fields tab and the Field Types tab, new fields can be added to the out-of-scope table.
Creating UI Actions
UI Actions add buttons, links, and context menu items to forms and lists. UI Actions can contain scripts to execute customized script logic. When Accessible from is All application scopes and Can read and Allow configuration are selected, out-of-scope applications can create UI Actions for the table.
In this example, the NeedIt table is out-of-scope for the UI Action's application. The NeedIt table Application Access configuration allows the out-of-scope application to create a UI Action for the NeedIt table.
The NeedIt table Application Access configuration does not allow the out-of-scope application to create a UI Action for the NeedIt table:
Creating Client Scripts
Client scripts execute client-side script logic when forms load, change, or are saved. When Accessible from is All application scopes and Can read and Allow configuration are selected, out-of-scope applications can create Client Scripts for the table.
In this example, the NeedIt table is out-of-scope for the Client Script's application. The NeedIt table Application Access configuration allows the out-of-scope application to create Client Scripts for the NeedIt table.
The NeedIt table Application Access configuration does not allow the out-of-scope application to create a Client Script for the NeedIt table:
