Hide the standard change RP in portal view

 this is a suggested approach using dictionary override, however a before business rule approach could also be used. the end goal is to hide the standard change RPs from service portal, but show them in classic UI only


 before insert BRs should be minimised and since we only need to set a default value, the dictionary override is cleaner approach. 

something like this:

  • The hide_sp field on the sc_cat_item table can be set to true so it hides the item in the portal but still allows it to be used in the platform view.
  • Use a dictionary override to set the sc_cat_item.hide_sp value to true with the following details:
    • Base table = sc_cat_item
    • Table = std_change_record_producer
    • Column name = hide_sp
    • Override default value = true
    • Default value = true

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 ); }
