Sys Admin useful Service Portal widget to check for duplicates in tables

UPDATE: 
newer improved version here:

===========

Widget defined in global scope; note can set cross scope privileges for access to scoped tables
[- should generate entries in sys_restricted_caller_access which can then be set to permitted]

HTML:

<title>Check ServiceNow Table for duplicates</title>
<div class='container'>
<!-- your widget template -->
  <label>Enter table name here</label>
    <input value ='sys_user' id='tbl_name'>
  <br/>
  <label>Enter field name here</label>
    <input value='email' id='dupl_field'>
  <br/>
  <label>Custom query string</label>
    <input value='active=true' id='custom_query'>
  <br/>
  <br/><br/><button ng-click="runtheoperation()" class="btn btn-danger action-btn pull-left">Click to check dupl</button>
<br/><br/>
   <label>results</label><br/>
   <textarea id='results_q' rows="10" cols="100">{{c.duplrecordsList}}</textarea>
</div>
<h1>Total list:{{c.duplrecordsSize}}</h1>

CSS:

.container {
  clear: both;
  text-align:left;
  align-content: left;
}

.container input {
  width: 100px;
  clear: both;
}

.container label {
  width: 150px;
  clear: both;
}

.container textarea {
  color:black;
}

CLIENT:

function($scope) {
  /* widget controller */
  var c = this;
    c.duplrecordsSize=0;
    //c.duplrecordsList=[];
    c.duplrecordsList='';
   
    $scope.runtheoperation = function() {
        //console.log("message", 'run the op');
        c.server.get({
               action: "get_dupls",
             msg : "Running glideaggregate to check for duplicates...",
               sn_table : angular.element($('#tbl_name')).val(),
               duplfield : angular.element($('#dupl_field')).val(),
               customQuery : angular.element($('#custom_query')).val()
           }).then(function(r){
              // alert('SIZE: ' + res.data.duplrecordsSize);
              //alert('test2: ' + r.data.duplrecordsSize);
              c.duplrecordsSize=r.data.duplrecordsSize;
              var duplData=r.data.duplrecordsList;
              c.duplrecordsList=duplData.join('\n');
             
        });
     
  };

}

SERVER:

(function() {
  /* populate the 'data' object */
  /* e.g., data.table = $sp.getValue('table'); */
    data.duplrecordsList=[];
    data.duplrecordsSize=0;
    if (input && input.action === "get_dupls"){
        data.duplrecordsList=(checkDuplUsers(input.customQuery, input.duplfield,input.sn_table));
       
      data.duplrecordsSize=data.duplrecordsList.length;
    }
function checkDuplUsers(customQuery, fieldParam, table){
  var ga= new GlideAggregate(table);
  ga.addAggregate('COUNT', fieldParam);
  if (customQuery){
    ga.addQuery(customQuery);
  }
  ga.addHaving('COUNT', '>', 1);
  ga.query();
    var dupls=[];
    dupls.push("The following " + ga.getRowCount() + " records are duplicate on " + fieldParam);
  while (ga.next()) {
        var DuplLine=ga.getAggregate('COUNT', fieldParam) + " => " + ga.getElement(fieldParam);
     dupls.push(DuplLine);
 }
    //gs.log(dupls,'duplWidget_arr');
    return dupls;
}
})();

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
