Hi Community,

 

Service Portal is my weak spot:-). Need some help with form widget

Below is the screen shot of the change Request in Service Portal form widget.
The sections in form widget is displayed vertically which is fine.

 

I want to make the section as collapsable (bootstrap terminology is I believe Accordion).

so when you click it will show/hide the section.

I saw some community where people converted the sections to tabs, but i didn't see collapsable section.

Has anyone done anything like that, do you mind sharing the code? any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks, Faisal

Hi @faisal_dadabhoy ,

 

Here is an example to hide/show a particular section using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Probably, you can utilize it on the respective widget.

 

 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Toggle Section Example</title>
  <style>
    #toggleSection {
      display: none;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <button id="toggleButton">Toggle Section</button>
  <section id="toggleSection">
    <h2>Section Title</h2>
    <p>This is the content of the section.</p>
  </section>
  
  <script>
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
      var section = document.getElementById("toggleSection");
      section.style.display = "none"; // Set initial state to hidden
      
      document.getElementById("toggleButton").addEventListener("click", function() {
        if (section.style.display === "none") {
          section.style.display = "block";
        } else {
          section.style.display = "none";
        }
      });
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Hi there,

 

Out-of-the-box there's nothing for that, so you need to clone and edit the widget.

 

Before even doing so, do answer: Is it worth it? Are you going to maintain the widget, when ServiceNow updates their own? Do you understand the consequences of cloning a widget?

 

Kind regards,
Mark
