Using a MACBOOK - basic commands

 After a pause of around 10 years, I am now using a MAC again!!

If like me you initially find using a mac a bit perplexing, below are some functions I found helpful

mission control all open windows: scroll up on touchpad with 3-4 fingers

Ctrl-up arrow: all open windows

Ctrl-up arrow: all open windows of same type (e.g. word documents)

shift-command-4  take a screenshot
shift-command-3

(FYI if you are using snagit and experiencing difficulties pulling a screenshot into word, you can save the snagit file as a photo using dropdown arrow in the top right next to 'share link' and then pull it into word from insert photo)

command B / command Z / command S - set font to bold / undo last action / save - similar to ctrl- on windows

control-down arrow when clicked when you have file explorer open for example, shows how many similar windows you have open enabling you to close them

shift-enter carriage return
note for carriage return in excel use option-enter

option-command-M minimise all windows

ctrl-click right of touch pad - right click (also right click using 2 fingers on right of touchpad does same thing) > use this to filter out from list view in ServiceNow

launchpad view installed apps


browser/url command-click opens link in new tab

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 )){...
