Pages

Hi 

what is the difference between the pages(sp_page) and portal pages(sys_portal_page)?

Is there any link between these pages?

Hi @shivaadapa 

Hi @shivaadapa 

Pages(sp_page) is used to store the pages which are basically present and the Service Portal, anything page that you see in the portal is stored in this table.

Portal pages(sys_portal_page) is a table to store the dashboards. Everytime you create and Dashboard Tab (pa_tab) it will automatically create an Portal Page (sys_portal_page). If you open the pa_tab record form, you will see this Portal Page in the Reference Field "Page" [page].

There is no direct correlation between these two tables.

Hi @Aman Kumar S 

I couldn't find pa_tab table in the instance.

Hi @shivaadapa ,

Both pages(sp_page) and portal pages(sys_portal_page) are used to create pages.

sp_page- Generally used for internal servicenow functionality like - cresting custom forms, list views and dashboards. which are not directly accessible to end users through the portal unless embedded within the other pages. requires coding knowledge.

sys_portal_page- These are for creating public facing pages which are accessible via sericenow portal and it offers limited customization as compare to sp_page.
