Decision tables are probably my favourite no-code tool in ServiceNow.
Maybe because a similar feature was available in my early days as a Cordys developer.
So it was nice to see them in ServiceNow 10 years later.
Key takeaways
Daniel Menter’s session at nullEDGE covers a lot of concepts:
- Flows vs subflows.
- Decision builder as a routing engine.
- Auto-approval example.
And a warning about the “use branches” checkbox that is ON by default, and creates static flow branches.
If there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget from this session, it’s:
Flows are essentially reusable business logic that ServiceNow created to replace business rules.
Trying to use Flows for long-lived processes is looking for trouble!
