In Service Catalog view, if I mouse over any of the categories/item icons there appear big-sized popup window, with different text : like none available, or item icon + title, or if description is provided than also it is placed in that popup.

My question is how to disable this popup, or modify to match text size, ALSO i cannot find the place where this script is placed (i been searching in UI Macros, in dynamic blocks, iframes, forms...)

The popup on service catalog icons are handled by following system property:


glide.sc.cat_view_use_popup_for_detailsWhen browsing a category, use the popup icon to show item details.

By any chance do you know any other option?
Cause this system property was initially set to false.


So if I understand it correctly, you meant that the system property in your instance is set to False but you are still seeing the popup on the catalog.   I would recommend to open a Servicenow Hi ticket and ask why this behavior.

i think that this property is applied when you are in catagory view - > then ,yes, you can enable or disable popup on item icon.


glide.sc.cat_view_use_popup_for_details


I don't think its applicable in service catalog, where i have main 4 divisions (hardware, software..), and there, in each division i have few categories and items that are displayed, and the popup appears exactly here.



But maybe anyone can point me to at least where i can find place, where the popup is triggered.
