In ServiceNow, aTaskis a fundamental record type that represents work that needs to be completed. Tasks can be assigned to users or groups, tracked through various states, and eventually marked asclosedwhen the work is completed.
Event (A)refers to a system-generated log of an occurrence (e.g., an email sent or a user action), but it is not a record that moves through states like a task.
Report (B)is used for analyzing and visualizing data but does not track work progress.
Flow (D)refers toFlow Designer flows, which automate processes but are not individual work items themselves.
Tasks are widely used across ServiceNow applications, such asIncident Management, Change Management, and Service Requests, to track and manage work.
