ServiceNow CIS-HR free question 3 / 10 · Domain 1: Describe and use the ServiceNow HR System Architecture
In the Lifecycle Events data model, the Activity [sn_hr_le_activity] table extends Activity Base [sn_hr_le_activity_base]. Which table does Activity Base itself extend?
- sn_hr_core_case
- sys_dictionary
- sys_metadata
- sys_user_group
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C
Why this is correct
The Tables installed list of Components installed with Lifecycle Events says that Activity Base [sn_hr_le_activity_base] extends sys_metadata. Activity [sn_hr_le_activity], which holds details of activities that are part of an activity set and together make up a life cycle event, extends Activity Base. The Employee Request [sn_hr_le_employee_request] table, which tracks details of employee requests, also works with Activity Base. So the activity definitions sit under sys_metadata, while the lifecycle event case sits under the HR Case table.
Why the other options are wrong
"sys_dictionary" … sys_dictionary is a platform table, but not the one in the table: the Activity Base row names sys_metadata as the table it extends.
"sys_user_group" … sys_user_group is a platform table too, but the Activity Base row names sys_metadata as the table it extends.
"sn_hr_core_case" … sn_hr_core_case is the parent of the HR Lifecycle Events Case table. The Activity Base entry names sys_metadata instead.
Two hierarchies
Keep the two Lifecycle Events hierarchies apart: the case side (HR Lifecycle Events Case extends HR Case) and the activity side (Activity extends Activity Base, which extends sys_metadata). Questions that mix them usually turn on which side a table belongs to.
