Announcements to appear in UI 16

[Brian Lancaster]

Is there any way to make Announcement created under Portal > Announcement also appear in UI16?  This way our licensed users also know about an outage for outlook.

To get a property it uses glide gs.getProperty.  Every time I try to do something with glide system in a UI Script the script stopes working.  Seems you can not use gs in UI Scripts.  Also we only have one admin so if I'm out this will not work.

Call a script include from UI script using GlideAjax.

Script include function can use getProperty().

I'm not sure it is worth the effort due to the fact that an admin would still have to maintain adding and removing the sys_id.  With me being the only one with admin rights I don't know if it is a good idea.  Also if we have more then one announcement this cannot handle it.

Learning Jelly is not that difficult and I was just giving you an example of a starting point.  You would have to modify it to get data from the announcements.  You would then be able to add it to all of the forms you would like to show announcements and do other coding to make it refresh as you like.

You can also just file an Idea on the Idea Portal for this in the hope that SNC will make it happen but people have been asking for this for a long time and for what ever reason SNC is just leaving us in the lurch.

On a side note you may have three heads and just don't know it.... 🙂

Good one.  Looks like there is a Idea already out there for this.  Just to clarify.  If I create a UI macro it will not show at the top but only on forms I add it to?
