🔍 What is the Task Table in ServiceNow?

➡ Task Table (task):

- The Task [task_list.do] table is a fundamental, core table in ServiceNow. It serves as the parent table for many other process-related tables in the system. It provides a set of standard fields and functionalities that are common across various types of work that need to be managed. such as
- Assigned to,
- Assignment group),
- Priority and impact,
- Description
- short description
- Work notes etc..

➡ Extensibility:

- Many tables in ServiceNow extend from the Task table. This means they inherit all the fields and functionalities of the Task table and can also have their own specific fields and behaviors. Examples of tables that extend Task include:
- Incident [incident]
- Problem [problem]
- Change Request [change_request]
- Service Catalog Task [sc_task]
- Project Task [pm_project_task]

Note:
You typically do not create records directly in the Task [task] table. Instead, you create records in the tables that extend it (e.g., creating an Incident record in the Incident table).
