When creating an application through the GAC, is the scope value automatically set by ServiceNow?

When creating an application through the Guided Application Creator (GAC) in ServiceNow, the scope value is indeed automatically set by the platform. Each application created using the GAC is assigned a unique application scope, which is essential for managing access to application resources and maintaining data security. This is beneficial because it prevents naming collisions and conflicts that may arise when multiple applications exist within the same instance.

The automatic assignment of the scope value streamlines the process of application development, allowing developers to focus on building application logic and functionality without the need to manually define and manage scope settings. The GAC ensures that developers are adhering to best practices for modular development by encapsulating application resources within a specific scope.
