What is a key characteristic of Scoped applications compared to Global applications?

Scoped applications provide a secure environment for development by isolating their resources from other applications, including global applications. This means that the components of a scoped application, such as scripts, tables, and business logic, cannot interfere with or be impacted by other scoped or global applications. This isolation is crucial for maintaining security and stability, particularly in environments where multiple applications exist and share the same ServiceNow instance.

The design of scoped applications allows developers to create applications that are encapsulated, meaning they can develop, test, and implement changes with a reduced risk of unintentionally affecting unrelated elements in the system. Scoped applications also enable tighter access controls and permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can interact with certain functionalities or data within that scope. Overall, this secure environment enhances the overall integrity and reliability of application development and deployment within ServiceNow.
