Annotate - A beautiful intuitive annotation for ServiceNOW

[Matt Saxton - G]

Hi Dev's,

Recently i had a requirement to build Annotations in ServiceNOW. I tried using the built in annotations however this was very limited. I couldn't use images or html tables. So i wrote a macro to do this and used my SweetAlerts from share to make it pretty.

Config

You will need to install sweetalerts to use this.

Once you have installed sweetalerts install Annotate

Once installed you need to create Annotations for the UI macro to lookup.

Navigate to the Annotate menu and select new.

Fill out the form using the diagram below as reference.   In the case we are going to add an annotation to number on incident.   Set the ID/Title/HTML.

Next we need to update the dictionary field to use the macro. Open the incident form and right click on number and choose configure dictionary. You'll need to add

ref_contributions=annotate to the attributes field and save.

Once saved your annotation is now linked.   Have fun!

Any luck on this? I'm running into a similar issue.

How would I call a specific annotation using a client script?   I am thinking of another use case - fun little Easter eggs to popup and congratulate users under certain conditions. I am thinking random generator to give popup of minions clapping when SD does a quick close.

I have sweetalerts2 servicenow share update set installed and this updated set. However in the form view I'm still getting this - > see image.

and not the actual picture? Any help would be great. Also none of the sweet alerts buttons / images are working on the form view. That picture is about as dynamic as it gets on the pop-ups.
