Icons for g_form.addDecoration() Method

[Jim Coyne]

Theres' a nice new method in Fuji for adding field decorations - GlideForm (g form) - ServiceNow Wiki.   I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to add our own custom icons to the list of available ones:

I was thinking of replacing the OOB VIP highlighting method with this "safer" method so I wanted to add a B/W version of the VIP icon to this list.

Thanks

Thanks for that, Shahid.

I had seen the glyphicons website previously. It appears Fuji's internal CSS only includes a subset of the Glyphicons-Halflings font-- There are 200 glyphicons listed in the internal CSS stylesheet, but the Glyphicons site shows 260 icons in that set. So users may not be able to utilize some of the icons they see on the website...

Thanks Jim. One quick question, how can we add the icon next to some of the incident forms, and display them if some of the field value changes ?

Hi Ravali,

You should be able to apply these icons to fields on the incident form by using an onChange client script.

Let's say you wanted to display the star icon next to the Caller ID field if the incident is critical. Create an onChange client script that monitors the Priority field and decorates the Caller id field under the proper circumstances:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

           return;

   }

   try {

       if(newValue == 1) { //Critical priority

           g_form.addDecoration('caller_id', 'icon-star', 'P1 Incident'); //display the star icon next to the Caller ID field

       }

   }

   catch(error) {

   jslog('>>>Runtime error: ' + error);

   }

}
