Could you someone give me more information regarding glideOverlay? I searched the wiki/forums/guru site and haven't seen anything on it.

Hi Biair Reinhart ,

Glide overlay is nothing but API which can be used with UI actions,If you clicks on ui actions you will have one pop up which can be used to show UI page .You can set the title , page and other attributes to   Glide overlay by using setPrefrences OOB function which have two parameters , one to activity and other for value of that activity like activity is tittle and its value is Test Glide overlay .

Its similar to that Glide window concept in service now

to wrap this up further... GlideOverlay is a class for displaying an overlay window. One key point is GlideOverlay actually extends GlideBox and thus includes all options of GlideBox and adds a few additions such as: closeOnEscape, and isModal.

Hello All,

I found a lot of stuff to display a new window using GlideOverlay, but also I can see there a lots of query regarding 'HOW TO CLOSE THAT WINDOW'.

Even I am facing the same issue. I used below code to show progress bar on my UI action click.

function onSubmit() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

  var ol = new GlideOverlay({

                id: 'submit_progress',

                closeOnEscape: false,

                showClose: false

          });

          ol.setTitle('Submit In Progress');

          ol.setWidth(250);

          ol.setBody('<img src="images/ajax-loader.gifx" width="220" height="19"/>');

          ol.center();

          ol.render();

          setTimeout(func, 5);

      function func() {

            return false;

      }

}

But setting time out for '5' I am not able to view back to my SN native View.

Any suggestions on this.

Rohant,

If you are simply showing a loading dialog, use the OOB GlideDialog for this.

showLoadingDialog();

hideLoadingDialog();

If you still prefer to close your GlideOverlay use the method 'close'. ol.close();

Yes it doesn't seem to work in the new releases of ServiceNow ie Fuji onwards:
