What does it mean to register an event?

• A. The ServiceNow processes are able to recognize and react to the event
• B. It disables event handling
• C. It logs the event but takes no action
• D. It creates a new application property automatically

Answer: (A)

Registering an event means telling ServiceNow about the event’s name and how to handle it, so the system can recognize the event when it occurs and run the defined response. When an event is registered, the Event Registry maps that event to actions (such as scripts, rules, or notifications) that should run when the event happens. This wiring is what lets automated processes react—creating records, sending alerts, or triggering workflows—instead of the event being ignored. If an event isn’t registered, ServiceNow won’t automatically respond to it.
