Why each option
Buttons, form links, and context menu items that trigger actions on records are all examples of UI Actions in ServiceNow.
Business Rules run server-side logic when a record is inserted, updated, deleted, or queried, but they are not directly visible UI elements like buttons or links.
UI Actions are scripts configured to execute when a user clicks a button, a form link, or a context menu item, providing interactive elements on forms and lists to perform specific operations.
Client Scripts run on the client-side to control form behavior, validate data, or dynamically change fields, triggered by events rather than being the visible buttons/links themselves.
UI Policies are used to dynamically change the behavior of form fields (e.g., make read-only, visible, mandatory) based on conditions, not to create interactive buttons or links.
