Task table

The Task table is one of the most important tables in the ServiceNow instance. Many tables extend the Task table. Thus, it is the parent class of many other tables, such as Incident, Change Task, Problem, and so on. Using the Tables modules, we can open the Task table entry to view a list of all available columns under the Columns tab, as shown in the following screenshot. We can optionally view the Schema map of the Task table to see all the tables that are extending and related to the Task table:

We can use the pagination on the top right corner of the list to browse through the entire record set. As always, clicking on the info icon will bring up the Dictionary Entry detail form page.

Furthermore, to view a list of tables that extends the Task table, as shown in the following screenshot, open the Tables modules again and use the quick filter on the top of the content frame to search for records where the Extends table starts with Task and press the Enter (return) key to perform the quick search:

Let us now create a custom table that extends from the Task table.
