Add catalog record producer to service portal page

Hello,

I have a record producer that I need to add to a service portal page. I have seen some recommend using a URL widget to achieve this, but I am not seeing that widget in the portal page designer. Any help is appreciated.

You could add the "SC Catalog Item" widget to that page, and add to the URL "&sys_id=3c29786e87133200e0ef0cf888cb0bdf" (the sys_id of your catalog item / record producer). That's like what I showed with the Knowledge page and the Ipad visible.

Obviously this way you would need to open that page with the added URL part. Also like shown, the out-of-the-box breadcrumb does get messed up by this.

Other possibility might be to clone the SC Catalog Item widget and provide it with your sys_id already. (sys_id is unfortunately not a instance option on the out-of-the-box widget)
Cloning a widget doesn't have to be a bad thing, though be aware of the consequences.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

When I added the SC Catalog Item I get this:

Also I don't see where I can enter in the URL of the record producer

Yes that's correct. That's the part about passing "&sys_id=3c29786e87133200e0ef0cf888cb0bdf" to the URL of the page you are adding this on.

The image I pasted, was the Knowledge page with URL:
https://my-instance.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_view2&sys_id=3c29786e87133200e0ef0cf888cb0bdf

So this way the SC Catalog Item widget knows which Catalog Item / Record Producer.

I find this very helpful the only issue I have is I do not know how I would go about adding sys_id as an instance option for the cloned widget.

 

Is there an article or thread that I can use to accomplish this?
