Hi all,
when opening the stats.do overview ServiceNow has a link to its Open Source disclosure. In that list we can find a lot of thirdparty scripts mentioned. As ServiceNow is using it I suggest there could be a possibility to make use of those tools.
In my case I would like to use xlsx and jszip. Where are these files located and is it possible to use them?
Thanks and regards,
Tobias

It states that ServiceNow does not necessarily use all the open source software referred...
Next to that: what is your requirement, what do you want to do? Because the fact that ServiceNow discloses that they could be making use of that open source code, doesn't mean it's directly available as such for developers.
Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

Hi Mark,
thanks for your quick response.
I want to create a *.xlsx file from a script. I do not want to create a *.csv. As we have a process that requires us to ask for permission when using Open Source scripts I wanted to make use of existing scripts that are included in ServiceNow.
If I would ask for Open Source script permission, I would ask for "xslx" as a script because it seems easy to handle. I already know how to implement that but - as I explained - I'd like to use existing scripts. This would also be interesting because adding JS Includes for scripts that potentially already exist in the ServiceNow universe would feel like duplicates. 🙂
