Custom Table to log agent activity

for reporting on all the updates a service desk member has made during the working day
note: may be license implication of using a custom table

2 system properties
- logging enabled property (true/false)
- list of ticket types property (string ; delimited, e.g. incident;sc_task)

new table with following fields:
  ticket (reference to task)
  user (reference to sys_user)
  info (string)

business rule on TASK table, fires after insert/update
- exclude users without itil role and isInteractive=true condition, also exclude internal_integration_user=true users (condition can be amended as needed)

condition:
gs.getProperty('ticket.logging.enable')=='true' && gs.isInteractive() && gs.getUser().hasRole('itil')
script:
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    //--exclude technical users
    var bProceed = false;
    var currentUser = gs.getUserID();
    var ticketTypes = gs.getProperty('ticket.logging.tickettypes');
    var ticketArr = ticketTypes.split(';');
    ticketArr.forEach(function(ticketT) {
        if (ticketT == current.getTableName()) {
            bProceed = true;
        }
    });
    if (bProceed) {
        var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        if (grUser.get('sys_id', currentUser)) {
            if (!grUser.internal_integration_user) {
                //--log the user activity
                var grLogs = new GlideRecord('u_cu_ticket_log');
                grLogs.newRecord();
                grLogs.u_ticket = current.sys_id;
                grLogs.u_user = currentUser;
                grLogs.u_info = current.operation();
                grLogs.insert();
            }
        }
    }
})(current, previous);

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){

Get URL Parameter - server side script (portal or classic UI)

Classic UI : var sURL_editparam = gs . action . getGlideURI (). getMap (). get ( ' sysparm_aparameter ' ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); } Portal : var sURL_editparam = $sp . getParameter ( " sysparm_aparameter " ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); }
