ServiceNow CIS-TPRM free question 6 / 10 · Domain 3: Assessment Configuration
An event-driven management rule has Run type On-demand, and Active is cleared. A TPR manager selects Run now. According to Event-driven management, what happens?
- Nothing; the rule is not active
- It runs, logged as a Scheduled job
- The rule runs at once on Run now
- It waits until its Start date
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C
Why this is correct
The Run type On-demand means the rule runs only when a user selects Run now. The Active field description says that only active rules with a Run status of Ready can run when the specified conditions are met, but that you can run a rule configured as On-demand whether it is active or not. So Run now starts the rule. In the run history, such a run is recorded with the Trigger action Manual, as any run started with Run now is.
Why the other options are wrong
"Nothing; the rule is not active" … The Active field description says a rule configured as On-demand can run whether it is active or not.
"It waits until its Start date" … Start date appears only for the Recurring and One-time run types. An On-demand rule has no start date to wait for.
"It runs, logged as a Scheduled job" … A run started with Run now is recorded with Trigger action Manual. Scheduled job is recorded when the rule runs on the schedule set by Frequency.
Run types
One-time sends the third-party risk assessment on the date in Start date. Recurring sends it on the schedule set with Frequency. On-demand runs only when a user selects Run now.
