Which fields are created by default when a new table is created?

When a new table is created in ServiceNow, several fields are automatically generated to ensure that basic tracking and identification capabilities are in place for the records within that table. The fields that are created by default include:

• sys_id: This is a unique identifier assigned to each record in the table. It is crucial for tracking, referencing, and ensuring that each record can be distinguished from others.

• Created: This field captures the timestamp of when the record was created, providing an audit trail of when the entry was initially added to the system.

• Created by: This field identifies the user who created the record, which is important for accountability and auditing purposes.

• Updated: This field notes the last time the record was modified, allowing users to see recent changes and maintain an accurate history of the record's lifecycle.

• Updated by: Similar to the Created by field, this field indicates which user last updated the record, providing insights into who made the changes and promoting accountability.

• Updates: This field tracks the update history or the number of times a record has been updated, which can be useful for performance monitoring and data management.
