What are dependencies in a custom scoped Application?

[brandonlab2]

I am a beginner in ServiceNow exploring custom application development through ServiceNow studio where I came to see dependencies in the Application settings, what are they , I don't understand them, are they added by default or do we need to add them manually- like if need cross- scope access of multiple files.

Ahoy @brandonlab2,

could you be more specific?

Meanwhile, to learn more about (custom) development, you can refer to the Learning Plans at the Developer Portal:

Also your custom scoped app can have dependency on other plugins which you can mention

So whenever your custom app is installed the dependent plugin will also get installed

Hi,

Not entirely sure about this one, but I believe the dependencies are plugins added to your project/app automatically.

I have never during my years of custom app development had the need to do anything manually with the dependencies of an app.

As far as I know, they are automatically included whenever needed.

One simple thing you can do to test (in your PDI, or other testing-environment) is to add a table that inherits from cmdb_ci to your project. By doing so it will automatically include the "Configuration management (CMDB)" dependency to your app (if not already there).
