Anyone know how to get current instance in the Service Portal?

[tstocking]

Looking for a way to get the current ServiceNow instance from the Server Side or Client Side in a Service Portal widget.   We are building a mailto link and I want to grab the instance name and url for use with the mail to.   Only way I can think of now is to query the sys_properties table.   Example:

// Get the Instance Name
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_properties');
gr.addQuery('name','instance_name');
gr.query();
if (gr.next()){
   data.instance = gr.value.getDisplayValue();
}

Did you try

gs.getProperty('instance_name');

I swear I tried that before and it wasn't working.   Thanks.
