Which variable types are needed to create sections in a Record Producer?

Container Start and Container End variable types are essential for organizing the layout of a Record Producer in ServiceNow. These special variable types act as delimiters that allow developers to group related variables visually into sections, making forms more user-friendly and easier to navigate.

When creating a Record Producer, developers can use containers to categorize variables thematically or functionally, enhancing clarity. For example, using a Container Start before a set of related input fields and a Container End after them will create a distinct visual section on the form, which helps users understand that these fields are related to a specific part of the record being produced.

While other variable types such as Text and Number, Checkbox and Dropdown, and Single Line Text and Multi-Line Text serve specific purposes in gathering data, they do not provide the structural organization required to delineate sections within the form effectively. The primary function of the Container variable types is layout, rather than data capture, making them unique in this context.
