The History section in the Application Navigator tracks recently visited records, lists, and forms within ServiceNow. This feature allows users to quickly navigate back to previously accessed content without searching manually.
What Appears in the History Section?The History section logs user activity related to:
Records (✅ Option A) – Recently viewed records from any table, such as incidents, requests, or tasks.
Lists (✅ Option C) – Any list views a user has accessed, such as Incident List or Change Request List.
Forms (✅ Option D) – Any individual record viewed in form view, such as an incident form or user form.
Why is Option B (UI Pages) Correct?❌ UI Pages do NOT appear in the History section.
UI Pages are special custom pages built with Jelly scripting and used for custom interfaces, portals, and dashboards (e.g., Service Portal pages).
Since they do not represent individual records, lists, or forms, they are not included in the user’s History tracking.
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect?❌ A. Records
Records are individual database entries (e.g., specific incidents, change requests, or users).
Since records are frequently accessed, they are logged in History.
❌ C. Lists
Lists display multiple records from a table (e.g., all open incidents).
Since users navigate through lists frequently, they are logged in History.
❌ D. Forms
Forms are used to view or edit individual records (e.g., an incident form).
Since forms are commonly accessed, they are logged in History.
