Change order of fields on form

maryc · ‎02-14-2016

Hi,

I have a choice fields with 3 values and in total there are 6 fields on a form.

Based on the selection of a choice field, I want the fields on the form to rearrange itself( some fields have to show and others should not be visible) .

I am using setDisplay() method on g_form, but its leaving out some white spaces in between the fields.

Is there a way to rearrange the fields so that there is no white space between the fields?

Thanks

Hey Mary,

This behavior is generally seen when you use setVisible to display/hide the field. if thats the case then you have to replace setVisible with setDisplay in all your scripts.

Also as a best practice try to use UI policy wherever possible.

I hope this helps

Hi May,

Try the setVisible() method instead of setDisplay().

Hope that helps.

I would also advise you to try using UI Policy when possible rather than client script.

Hello,

I am using UI policy and I have this script, but I am seeing that the fields dont get pushed up or down and empty field space is still visible

g_form.setVisible('u_tableField',false);

Hi Mary,

It should be setDisplay . Wiki says it here GlideForm (g form) - ServiceNow Wiki.

Could you please share the screenshot where the space is not reclaimed with setDisplay.

Mark this response as correct/helpful if it does so

Thanks
