Display URL link on form

Hi -

Does anyone know if there is a way to display the URL of a form as a link on the open record? This is similar to the Copy URL option that is currently available on forms. I want to be able to display the URL link on the form instead of copying the link on the form.

Any ideas will be very much approciated.

Thanks.

Create a new URL field, add it to your form, Personalize Dictionary on that field, check the "Calculated" checkbox, and put the following in the "Calculation" field:



javascript:"https://demonightlyus.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=" + current.getLink(true)


Replace "demonightlyus" with your instance.

Thank you so much. It worked perfectly!! 🙂


Here's a variation on the link syntax that gets you the shorter permalink format. I prefer this to opening the articles in the full application frame:

javascript:"https://usfdev.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article="+ current.number

Hi,



I have almost the same issue unresolved:


And what if I wanted as a href not a https address, but an path (\\dhaksdhak\sjdfjk\shared_files) to an internal server?


How could it be managed?
