What is Platform Scripting

• When making changes to your instance, the Condition builder should be used wherever possible to configure straightforward conditions and actions
• More complex configurations and behaviors can be script using JavaScript

ServiceNow provides the ability to customize an instance using JavaScript (based on Mozilla Rhino).

JavaScript, popularized by Yahoo, is the most prevalent scripting language on the web. It is object-oriented, runs within a browser, and does not need a license.

Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. It is typicallyembedded into Java applications to provide scripting to end users.

The JavaScript engine used to evaluate scripts in ServiceNow supports the ECMAScriptS standardand is based upon Rhino version 1.7 R5.
