As part of the ServiceNow Fuji release, we have again given the UI a makeover and aimed to provide you with a more consistent, useful experience. The stylistic changes include new icons and color schemes throughout the platform, the Edge, and various applications. There are also more opportunities to personalize views, user-friendly reference and preview features, and improved spacing and readability in the layout. Here is a look at just a few of the cool changes made in Fuji.
Forms - Responsive design
Form layouts adapt to better accommodate a variety of window widths. For example, in the reduced-width window, columns are displayed closer together:
Updated field notations
Field status indicators are larger and bolder to better highlight mandatory fields.
Lists - Sort indicator arrow and detail row
The top of the arrow in a list view column now indicates the max value and the detail row allows you to put a wide cell, like short description, on its own row.
API changes - popups
The form elements now respond to a fluid container, meaning the size of the browser window tells the form elements what their maximum size should be. As a result, GlideDialogForm needs a width and height set before rendering. If a width and height are not set, it estimates how big to make the dialog and sets some maximum sizes based on the dimensions of the container in the dialog.
Note the difference between Eureka and Fuji:
Info messages
Bolder notifications have been implemented to emphasize the message on the form or list and the timing of many notifications has also changed. Sometimes an AJAX transaction triggers an info or error message in a business rule. These messages now show when the AJAX transaction completes instead of when the next page is loaded.
And that's not all, of course! To accommodate the new release, we have created a Fuji improvements page packed with info from all areas of Support. As always, don't hesitate to send us your feedback here, in the Knowledge Base, or in Product Documentation. Take a look and enjoy getting to know the new UI!
