Creating UI Action in Scoped Application

[raprohaska]

I'm creating my first scoped application. I get the overall concept but still struggle at time to know when a customization is allowed and when not.

I'm currently looking to add a UI Action to the Update Set table. It appears I can add business rules and other associated features but when I go to a new UI Action form, it does not allow me to select the Update Set table.

I'm either looking for a way to create the needed UI Action or a better understanding of why the creation of such an action within a Scoped Application is not allowed.

Thanks in advance,

AA

Hi Aaron,

These are the lines from wiki

3.2 Example: Granting Access to Configuration Records

You can permit other application scopes to create configuration records on application data tables. You can grant access to the following configuration records with these settings.

Configuration record	Settings required to grant access
Access controls	Accessible from is set to All application scopes Can read is selected
Business rules
Client scripts	Accessible from is set to All application scopes Can read is selected Allow configuration is selected
Dictionary entry (new field only)
UI actions

Granting other application scopes design access permission

Hope that helps

Cheers

I'm guessing it would be poor practice to change the "configuration" setting of a base table that is defaulted to false?

Hi Aaron,

Absolutely. Are you building the app for https://store.servicenow.com/ ?

Thanks

I'm building just for our internal usage but it is a generic application and could easily be used outside my current organization.

Just seems odd that we can add business rules but not UI Actions by default to the Update Set table.
