C1 SmartCore
The Unified Architecture Behind Every SmartApp
SmartCore is the standardized foundation of the entire C1Secure SmartSuite. Built natively on ServiceNow, it unifies data models, forms, workflows, and compliance logic so every SmartApp behaves consistently, integrates cleanly, and scales without technical debt.
Key Benefits
- Build new SmartApps in weeks, not months
- Reduce maintenance overhead across the suite
- Ensure consistent UX and lifecycle behavior
- Improve interoperability and cross-product reporting
- Adopt new SmartApps faster with a shared architecture
Why This Product Matters
Most ServiceNow teams waste time rebuilding the same tables, fields, forms, workflows, and lifecycle logic for every new application. As the product footprint grows, so does technical sprawl—making maintenance slow and upgrades risky.
SmartCore solves this by standardizing architecture across every SmartApp in the suite.
What SmartCore Enables
- Unified data model for consistent structure and reporting
- Shared workflow engine for seamless automation across apps
- Compliance-ready lifecycle logic applied out of the box
- Scalable architecture that grows without increasing complexity
Capabilities
SmartTables Unified Data Model:
Standardized tables, fields, and relationships used across all SmartApps to eliminate duplication and simplify reporting.
Configurable SmartForms:
Consistent UX patterns, validation rules, and layouts ensure every SmartApp feels familiar and intuitive.
Shared Workflow Components:
Reusable modules for tasking, approvals, notifications, evidence handling, and lifecycle transitions.
Embedded Compliance Metadata:
Built-in timestamps, history tracking, state models, and required metadata deliver audit-ready behavior from day one.
Naming & Architectural Standards:
Enforces consistent conventions to prevent drift across apps and environments.
Cross-Product Interoperability:
SmartApps communicate natively through shared logic and aligned data models.
Unified Reporting Structures
Common data architecture allows cross-app dashboards, analytics, and suite-wide insights.
Governance & Audit Controls
Ensures traceability, version tracking, and lifecycle accountability across all SmartApps.
Accelerated SmartApp Development
Developers assemble new SmartApps using prebuilt components, drastically reducing build time.
