Here is the resolution!


Steps to Resolve ITIL user cannot see top of Incident Form:


  1. Type views in the Navigator and go to System UI > Views (or type sys_ui_view.list in the Navigator)
  2. Open the view titled Default view
  3. In the Forms related list searched for Table = incident
  4. Open the Incident default view form
  5. Sort by Position 0 is at the top which is the main form section
  6. Open the main form section
  7. On the form, there is a field called "Sys UI section" that will appear to be blank but has a reference icon on the far right. Click the reference icon to open the record
  8. Right-click the form header and choose 'Copy sys_id'
  9. Type User Preferences in the Navigator
  10. Do a search for User = <your user>   and Name contains <sys_id>   (this is the sys_id you copied in the header in step 8. Be sure to use CONTAINS when you search, using EQUALS will not give a result
  11. This should return the exact user preference that is causing the issue
  12. Open the User Preference record and change the Value to false, click Update
  13. Have the user log out and back in

Not system log, open the browser developer tools. If you are using chrome, then press cntrl+shift+I


I, ok. I have browser tools open but am not familiar with this. Where would the error message be? I just see a lot of html but nothing that says error.


I don't think this is an error. I had seen something similar to this when we first deployed ServiceNow. It had to do with the view, but for the life of me I cannot find the fix (it was about 2 years ago now). I will keep looking and let you know what I find.


I did try all the views, as I had something similar when an ITIL user used self service. But in this case a tiny bit of the form displays so it seems to be more like an error. Thank you for looking though, hopefully it is something you still have!
