Hi,

I have some ui macro variables in my service catalog item, basically this ui macro displays some text.   However, when i am trying to view the item in the service portal, the form does not show the ui macro at all. Is this a constaint in Helsinki or am i missing something.

Regards,

Raj

UI Macros and UI pages are based on Jelly... Service Portal is a Jelly free environment and as such Ui Macros and Ui Pages will not render in the Service Portal. This is by design. Jelly is also a server side template, so I'm not even sure how it would work to have this display in a client side single page app such as Service Portal.



The alternative Service Portal provides is the ability to render a widget inside the catalog variable. If you look through the variable form, you should notice a widget field.


Nathan,



I am searching for the widget field in the variable form of the catalog, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it possible to get a more explicit path to be able to find the field?



Thank you!

Nathan,



I am on Helsinki and my interface for catalog variables (even that very same Apple iPad 3 var) is missing that textfield for Widget. Am I missing an advanced options menu? Or am I on the wrong release for this?
