Embed a report to an external site?

[dinoseck]

Hey everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to embed a report to an external site.

For example, instead of the end user having to create a report in ServiceNow, they would be able to view a live report from a Google site.

I have tried importing the table data from a report onto Google sheets as an =importHtml function, but it has not worked yet.

Thanks

Have you already looked at Publishing the report you want to make available on an external site? Scheduling and Publishing Reports - ServiceNow Wiki

This give you a public URL you can then potentially embed in an iFrame in your external site.

Hey Ben,

Thank you for the helpful reply.

I will try this today.

update:

I believe this solution will answer my problem.

However, I do get this message when I embed the URL through iframe:

"To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."

Hmmm... I was not aware of any limitation with that. I poked around in the properties to see if there is a way to allow for this, but I do not see anything. I'll see if I can dig up anything else.

It is possible by going to sys_properties.list and changing the glide.set_x_frame_options property to false.  

This will allow you to embed reports in another site using iframes.

There is however the possibility of clickjacking since a malicious website could embed your content as well.   It's hard to say how likely that would be but it's worth mentioning.
