ServiceNow - Permissions on variables: only allow certain individuals to view the variable on the RITM

 go to the variable> permission tab






masked variables:

see https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0681163 

 

other ideas:

 

Push sensitive variables into a single multi-line variable on submit of the cat item

 

Example onsubmit client script:

function onSubmit() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

 

    var sVars = g_form.getValue('test_variable_1') + '\n' + g_form.getValue('test_variable_2');

   

   

    g_form.setValue('sensitive_data', sVars);

 

    g_form.setMandatory('test_variable_1', false);

    g_form.setMandatory('test_variable_2', false);

   

    g_form.setValue('test_variable_1', '');

    g_form.setValue('test_variable_2', '');

 

}


 


Use display business rule with g_scratchpad to determine visibility

 

Business rule

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

 

    // Add your code here

    var reqFor=current.requested_for;

    var opBy=current.opened_by;

   

    g_scratchpad.reqFor=reqFor.toString();

    g_scratchpad.opBy=opBy.toString();

   

    gs.addInfoMessage('requested for: ' + current.requested_for);

   

    gs.addInfoMessage('opened by: ' + current.opened_by);

 

})(current, previous);

 

Client script (on RITM, task)

function onLoad() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   alert('scratchpad req for: '+g_scratchpad.reqFor);

    alert('scratchpad op by: '+g_scratchpad.opBy);

}

 

Use a UI policy to hide the blanked variables on RITM and Task

 

Or, set the rules directly on the variable with access granted via a role

ServiceNow timeout settings for virtual agent chat

  After connecting to live agent User is connected to live agent and not responding to live agent chat or distracted. The below properties controls the timeout settings, the OOB settings for reminder is [180 sec] and for cancelling the chat is [360 sec]. The job is default configured to 2 min so I believe no tweaking is required here.  Property -   com.glide.cs.idle_chat_reminder_timeout                  com.glide.cs.idle_chat_cancel_timeout Scheduled job   - Idle Chat Timer Task   https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_article&sys_id=1453b03bdbaad0109e691ea668961929   (ServiceNow ) 

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 )){...
