Show/Hide Form Sections

xiaix · ‎02-15-2017

I read (in full) Show/Hide Form Section by Name - ServiceNow Guru

So... when using g_form.setSectionDisplay(), where do you define the section name????

What field on the sys_ui_section will go in the first parameter of g_form.setSectionDisplay() ???

I tried the following:

But it doesn't work.

This is not correct. Naming conevtion is as follows

"The section name is lower case with an underscore replacing the first space in the name, and with the remaining spaces being removed, for example "Section Four is Here" becomes "section_fourishere". Other non-alphanumeric characters, such as ampersand (&), are removed. Section names can be found by using the getSectionNames method."

g_form.setSectionDisplay('hardware_serialnumbersandassettags', false);

Worked!!

I added the following to an onLoad client script to get the exact names:

var sections = g_form.getSectionNames();
alert(sections);

Hi

However the above method cannot be used for Related list tabs in a form. Follow this

Create a UI policy

Set no condition -> Save

Go to 'UI Policy Related list action' -> Click New

Select 'the related list tab' that you want to set visible as false and save
