InServiceNow,Visual Task Boards (VTBs)provide aKanban-style interfaceto manage and track work. There arethree main typesof Visual Task Boards, but "Feature"is notone of them.

Freeform Board (Valid Type)

Manually created boards wherecards can be moved freelywithout predefined conditions.

Users canadd and organize tasks as needed.

Example: Personal task management.

Guided Board (Valid Type)

Createdfrom a list viewandlinked to a ServiceNow table(e.g., Incident, Change, Task).

Cards on the boardautomatically updatebased on conditions.

Example: Managing Incidents or Change Requests.

Flexible Board (Valid Type)

Similar toGuided Boards, but allows users tomanually reordertasks within lanes.

Offers moreflexibilitywhile still being linked to a data source.

Example: Sprint Planning or ITSM Workflows.

"Feature" is NOT a Visual Task Board type in ServiceNow.

ServiceNow does use the term"Feature"in Agile Development (for tracking high-level product functionalities), but it is not related to VTBs.

In ServiceNow, the"Service Desk > My Groups Work"module is designed to display tasks assigned to a groupbut not yet assigned to an individual user.This means that even if an IT manager oversees theNetworkandHardwareassignment groups, they will not see any tasks in this listif all tasks have already been assigned to specific individualswithin the group.

Let’s break down whyoption Ais the correct answer and why the other options are incorrect:

The"My Groups Work"list only shows tasks that are assigned to thegroupbut have not been assigned to a specificindividualwithin the group.

If all tasks are assigned to specificteam members, then the manager will not see any tasks in this list.

The IT manager can verify this by navigating to theTask List(e.g., Incidents, Changes, or Requests) and filtering by theNetworkandHardwareassignment groups.

Explanation for Correct Answer (A):

Theitil roleallows users toview, create, update, and resolve incidents, changes, problems, and other ITSM tasks.

However, not having this role wouldrestrict accessto various ITSM functionalities, but itdoes notimpact whether tasks appear inMy Groups Work.

If the manager lacks theitilrole, they might have trouble accessing or modifying tasks, but this wouldn't explain why they don’t see anything in the list.

TheService Desk groupis a separate entity in ServiceNow, typically associated with incident handling and user support.

TheMy Groups Workmodule isnot restricted to the Service Desk group—it displays work assigned toany groupthe user belongs to.

Since the manager is responsible for theNetwork and Hardwaregroups, being part of theService Deskgroup is irrelevant.

If the manager wasnot a memberof these groups, they wouldn't seeany group-related tasksat all.

However, the question states that the manager isresponsible for these groups, so it’s reasonable to assume they are either a member or at least agroup managerwith visibility.

Even if they were just a manager and not an officialgroup member, they would still be able to see the tasks assigned to the groups.

TheAssignment Group managerfield is an informational field that indicates who manages a group.

This fielddoes not controlwhat is displayed in theMy Groups Workmodule.

Even if this field were empty, it wouldn’t prevent a manager (who is a group member) from seeing unassigned tasks.

Explanation for Incorrect Answers:(B) The manager does not have the itil role.(C) The manager is not a member of the Service Desk group.(D) The manager is not a member of the Network and Hardware groups.(E) The Assignment Group manager field is empty.

ATransform Mapin ServiceNow is a tool used to define relationships betweenfields in an import set tableandfields in a target table. It helps map incoming data to the appropriate fields within the ServiceNow database when importing data from external sources.

Data is loadedinto anImport Set Table.

ATransform Mapis created to define how fields from the import set correspond to fields in the target table.

TheTransformation Processis executed, applying the mapping rules.

The data is stored in theTarget Tablewith any specified transformations applied.

Supportsfield mapping,scripted transformations, andcoalesce fields(for avoiding duplicate records).

Allows fordata cleansing and standardizationduring the transformation process.

Can be reused for multiple data imports.

A. Transform Schema→ No such concept exists in ServiceNow.

B. Schema Map→ Provides a visual representation of table relationships but does not define field mappings for imports.

C. Dictionary Map→ Used for mapping between dictionary definitions, not for transforming import set data.

E. Field Transformer→ Not a ServiceNow tool.

F. Import Designer→ No such module in ServiceNow.
