Hi @maxwel 

 

LIFO stands for Last In, First Out. It is a method of storing and retrieving data in which the most recently added item is the first item to be removed.

 

In ServiceNow, LIFO is used in the multiple places:

  • The Audit Trail table. This table stores a record of all changes that have been made to records in ServiceNow. The audit trail is stored in LIFO order, so the most recent changes are always at the top of the table.
  • The Change Management table. This table stores a record of all changes that have been made to configurations in ServiceNow. The change management table is also stored in LIFO order, so the most recent changes are always at the top of the table.


Please, don't forget to mark my answer as correct if it solves your issue or mark it as helpful if it is relevant for you!
