Can I detect from client script whether someone is using the Portal?

[peterdelf]

I'd like to add a UI Action which is only available from the normal ServiceNow view and not available if someone is using the Service Portal to view the form.   I've had a look into seeing if I can determine the URL that someone is viewing the form with a URL starting '/SP/' but didn't get far.   Anyone else got tips on how to do this?

Hi Peter,

you can use the condition field in the UI action.

Call script include, get the browser window url search for specific text and return true or false and based on that the button will be shown.

getting url from server side, below will work in both scoped and non-scoped app

var windowUrl = gs.action.getGlideURI().toString();

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Sure. You can use window.location.href to retrieve the url and perform the respective comparison.

Thanks,
