Client scripts helper functions

[catchdini]

What are the helper functions available in client scripts? Is there a place I can read it from there or I have to have a look at the used client scripts in ServiceNow to get to know?

Similarly I would like to know the scripts/variables that are useful in other areas in ServiceNow like business rule. Does the Client-side API Reference will be useful for all or it is only for client scripts.

Hi catchdini,

Its only for client scripts.These can be written in anywhere,which is executing at client side.i.e. UI policies,client scripts.ui scripts,ui actions.

There is one more script called server script which can be used in Business rules,Script include,Data policies,UI actions.and it execute at server side.
