Do ServiceNow artifacts exist inside the application's scope?

ServiceNow artifacts indeed exist within the scope of the application they belong to. When you create an application in ServiceNow, it operates within a defined scope, which essentially acts as a container for various artifacts—such as tables, scripts, and UI pages—related to that application. This scoping mechanism helps organize your application components and ensures that they do not conflict with artifacts from other applications, particularly those that exist in the global scope or other scoped applications.

Artifacts that are part of a scoped application are isolated, which enhances security and manages dependencies effectively. Each scoped application can have its own set of tables and business logic that won't interfere with those from other applications or the global scope. Thus, stating that artifacts exist inside the application's scope is correct, as it emphasizes the structured and organized nature of ServiceNow's application development framework.
