In ServiceNow,data policiesenforce rules to ensure data consistency and integrity across the platform. They can be applied at both theserver-sideandclient-side, even outside the standard UI (such as data imports and APIs).
Incident numbers should be read-only on all lists and forms, for all users.
Data policies can enforce field read-only rules globally.
TheIncident number (Number field) is typically auto-generatedand should not be editable by users. A data policy can ensure it remains read-only across all interfaces.
Short Description field should be mandatory, on all records, across all applications, on insert.
Data policies can make a field mandatory across the system, not just on specific forms.
UnlikeUI policies(which work only in forms), adata policy ensures this rule applies even during imports and API updates.
