ServiceNow CIS-SPM free question 9 / 10 · Domain 6: Timecard Management
You are creating a project time category so that users report time by activities such as Design and Testing within project work. Which statement matches the official description?
- A timecard_admin or it_project_user creates it, and the field appears when Category is Project/Project Task, not for Task work
- A timecard_admin or it_project_manager creates it, and the field appears when Category is Project/Project Task or Task work
- A timecard_admin or it_project_manager creates it, and the field appears only when Category is Project/Project Task, not for Task work
- A timecard_admin or it_project_user creates it, and the field appears when Category is Project/Project Task or Task work
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B
Why this is correct
The documentation says a time card admin or a project manager can create a project time category as a subcategory that represents a specific activity within a project (role required: timecard_admin, it_project_manager). The procedure is to select New under Time Sheets > Administration > Project Time Categories and enter a Name and a Description. The Project time category field on a timecard shows the kind of activity for reporting time on a project, and it is displayed when Category is Project/Project Task or Task work.
Why the other options are wrong
"A timecard_admin or it_project_manager creates it, and the field appears only when Category is Project/Project Task, not for Task work" … The roles are right, but this narrows the condition for the field. The documentation says the Project time category field also appears when Category is Task work, besides Project/Project Task.
"A timecard_admin or it_project_user creates it, and the field appears when Category is Project/Project Task or Task work" … The condition for the field is right, but the roles required for creating it are timecard_admin and it_project_manager, not it_project_user. The documentation says the activities within a project are defined by a time card admin or a project manager.
"A timecard_admin or it_project_user creates it, and the field appears when Category is Project/Project Task, not for Task work" … Both the role and the condition for the field are wrong. It is created by timecard_admin and it_project_manager, and the field appears when Category is Project/Project Task and also when it is Task work.
Where people trip up
The Category field shows the kind of work the timecard is for, and the Project time category shows the activity within the project. They are separate layers: you choose Category first and then the activity. Give each project time category a unique Name and describe the activity in Description.
