Can a scheduled job be used to run a client side script everyday?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with a plugin
• D. It runs weekly by default

Answer: (B)

Scheduled jobs in ServiceNow run on the server, executing server-side code. Client-side scripts, on the other hand, run in a user’s browser and only when a page is loaded or a user action occurs. Because a server-side scheduled job has no active browser context to run code in, it can’t execute a client-side script across all users every day. If you need daily automation, use a server-side scheduled job to perform the task. If you need client-side behavior, it will occur only when a client loads a page or triggers a script, not as an autonomous daily client-side run.
