Hi @sasikumar4,

In ServiceNow, various scripts and policies are executed in a specific order to ensure proper functionality and data integrity. Here is the general order of execution:

1. Client Script
2. UI Policy
3. Data Policy
4. Before Business Rule
5. On Display Business Rule
6. Access Control Rules (ACL)
7. Record Insert/Update
8. After Business Rule

• Client Script:

  • These run in the user's browser. They are used to control form fields, validate input, and enforce policies before the data is sent to the server.
  • Types: onLoad, onChange, onSubmit.

• UI Policy:

  • Also run in the user's browser to control the visibility, read-only state, and mandatory state of fields.
  • They can execute before or after client scripts depending on how they are configured, but typically they execute after client scripts to enforce UI behaviors.

• Data Policy:

  • These enforce data consistency by making fields mandatory or read-only at the server-side level. They can be triggered when data is imported or when forms are submitted.
  • They execute after UI policies and client scripts.

• Before Business Rule:

  • These execute before a record is saved to the database.
  • Common uses: data validation, field value setting, and execution control.

• On Display Business Rule:

  • These run when a form is being displayed, allowing the modification of field values or form layout before it is presented to the user.

• Access Control Rules (ACL):

  • These determine what data a user can access. They are checked whenever a record is accessed, created, or modified.
  • ACLs execute after On Display Business Rules and before the record is committed to the database.

• Record Insert/Update:

  • The record is committed to the database at this stage. This is where the actual data insert or update occurs.

• After Business Rule:

  • These execute after the record has been saved to the database.
  • Common uses: triggering notifications, running additional processes, or performing cleanup tasks.
