GlideQuery cheat sheet

Brian Workman · 3 weeks ago

Hey! I made a cheat sheet for GlideQuery because I got tired of not knowing when something took a stream, a query, or an optional and returned which. Always having to reach out to the docs or SNGuru's cheat sheet when I get "This doesn't use an optional, dumdum" message. "NiceError" my buttocks.

This is a single file artefact. It's just an html file with styling and searching and links also to the official docs and also SNGuru's cheat sheet for examples! But otherwise it's totally usable offline since it doesn't itself download anything.

Always examine content before loading it though! But, you all know that already. 🙂

Extract it and save it somewhere when you feel the need to cheat!

It looks like this

Well done sir! I've been working on some similar activities myself. This is great. I love the format. Super easy to consume.

Hi @Brian Workman,

thanks for sharing your experience! However wouldn't it be possible to share it in some other way than a zip file?

An article with sheet, screenshots, jpgs, anything to make it accessible immediately once somebody reads these lines, what do you reckon?

wdym? It's an html file inside a zip? if i could have just uploaded an .html then that would have been what I'd've done, but alas, they disapprove of the direct method.

@Brian Workman what i meant is to make your cheatsheet accessible right away, when somebody opens this post they should see it directly. Nobody will go downloading some files, extracting it, saving to their folders and then forgetting they downloaded it before they use and rather to see it online with nothing to download

my suggestion was to make it a part of your original post above, that it could be bookmarked and always visible once needed in multiple devices. It was just an idea.

Example: SN Utils cheat sheet

It isn't a terrible idea, only it's not how this is intended to be consumed. It is an interactive, offline webpage that includes filtering. I could put a screenshot, I suppose. But it would be somewhat awkward to use in that way.

But as you say, nobody will do as you've outlined. 🙂
