DIFFICULTY LEVEL: ADVANCED
Assumes having taken the class SSNF and has good intermediate to advanced level of knowledge and/or familiarity with Scripting in ServiceNow.
PRE-REQUISITE: I developed this example using Scripts - Background and requires the installation of the JavaScriptExtensions file on your instance.
In the past I have used the ServiceNow Share to post out code snippets. However, over time those have faded away and been dropped from that repository. Here I have collected together into a Script Include some of my more favorite GlideRecord extension functions, from my articles, that I have shared with the community.
I have built these using the prototype template so that you can just add the Script Include to your instance (upload as XML). Since this is a prototype library you will need to "gs.include" it.
These have all been tested on my PDI and function with an OOB instance.
Instructions for use:
To load it up into your instance do the following:
- Download the sys_script_include_GlideRecordExtensions.xml file attached to this article.
- In your instance Navigate to System Definition -> Script Includes. A list view of all Script Includes will be displayed.
- Right-Click next to the name field to bring up the context menu.
- Click the Import XML link at the bottom of the context menu.
- Click the Choose File button.
- Navigate to your download folder and pick the file labeled: sys_script_include_GlideRecordExtensions.xml and click the OK button. You will be returned to the import form.
- Click the Upload button. The new Script Include will be added to your Script Include list and is then ready for use.
I will continue to update this library, in the future, as new functionality presents itself.
NOTE: Download and use this software at your own risk. These are simply presented as an example on how to utilize ServiceNow utilities in a Script Include function library.
Enjoy!
