Hello Ashishgupta,

is it possible to dotwalk from this script?

data.user = gs.getUserName();

I need to the value of the "first_name" field from [sys_user] table.

thanks!

I actually figured it out...you can!

data.user = gs.getUser().getFirstName();

Hello Ashishgupta, I'm very new at ServiceNow.  Could you please tell me step by step where do you go to add data.user = gs.getUserName();?  Thank you so much

Have you created a Widget with your new code in it?

If you have then Open the Index Page in Designer and Remove the Out the Box HomePage Search widget with your new one.
