Custom tables

A custom table is defined as a table that you create on the ServiceNow AI Platform that isn't provided by ServiceNow. Some tables are exempted from being classified as a custom table.
Note: For more information on custom tables on the ServiceNow AI Platform, see Table administration. For a detailed description of custom table use rights and exempt tables, see the Custom Table Guide on http://www.servicenow.com/upgrade-schedules.html

Subscriptions come with custom table entitlements that dictate the number of custom tables that you can map to a subscription. The number of custom table entitlements depends on the subscription.

Custom applications

A custom application is defined as an application that you create on the ServiceNow AI Platform that isn't provided by ServiceNow. If your organization purchased App Engine, you can use Subscription Management to manage your custom application subscriptions.

App Engine usage

App Engine subscriptions entitle you to develop applications and deploy custom tables in production instances. Based on your App Engine version, you monitor the subscription usage of your App Engine applications differently.

  • You can view and manage App Engine V2 subscriptions in Subscription Management just like any other product subscription. You can map your applications and custom tables to an App Engine V2 subscription and allocate per-user subscriptions by adding groups with measured roles to an App Engine V2 subscription.
  • You can't view App Engine V1 subscription details on the details page like other subscriptions. Users with the usage_admin or admin roles can view App Engine V1 subscription details and usage information by navigating to the App Engine usage module from the filter navigator. This module only appears if you have App Engine V1.
