Get current page in service portal

[scottl]

How does one get the sys_id of the current page that the user is viewing in the service portal?

Hi Scott,

If you want to get sys_id of the current record in widget, you can get it by putting below code at widget's server script field,

$sp.getParameter("sys_id");

Hope this helps.

This is incorrect as this returns null, because that's assuming you're passing a page sys_id via the url.

Hi Scott,

My bad. I thought you were trying to retrieve sys_id from the URL.

You can try below code to get the sys_id of current page,

var page_id = $sp.getParameter('id');

var gr = new GlideRecord('sp_page');

gr.get('id',page_id);

var page_sys_id = gr.sys_id;

Hope this helps.

That makes sense.   However I thought there might of been a method as part of the $sp object to return the page object.
