ServiceNow CIS-SIR free question 10 / 10 · Domain 6: Automation and Standard Processes
What is the Associated Record of an activity definition used for?
- Associating the backend subflow
- Storing its run time data and status
- Defining how the card is rendered
- Capturing the name and description
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B
Why this is correct
Use the Associated Record to store the associated data pertaining to the current activity. It captures the run time data as well as the status of the experience. In the Send email example, the Flow Data table is used.
Why the other options are wrong
"Associating the backend subflow" … Associating backend logic is not the job of the Associated Record, despite the similar word.
"Defining how the card is rendered" … How the card is rendered is about its look, not about storing data.
"Capturing the name and description" … The name and description are basic details, not run time data.
Key point
The Associated Record is the data side of an activity. You can also map response task states to the activity card status.
