Which component is described as server-side in the material?

• A. Business Rules
• B. Client Scripts
• C. UI Policies
• D. Annotation

Answer: (A)

Business Rules run on the server. They are server-side scripts in ServiceNow that execute in response to database actions such as insert, update, delete, or query (and can also run when a record loads). They control data integrity, set field values, enforce business logic, or trigger related actions, and they do so regardless of which client or interface initiated the action, including during imports or integrations. In contrast, Client Scripts and UI Policies run in the user’s browser to respond to form events (like onLoad or onChange) and adjust the UI in real time. Annotation isn’t a server-side scripting feature, so the server-side option is Business Rules.
