In service portal, how to show current loggedIn user Location and Temperature

Hi,

I want to show the location name from where the user is loggedIn on the service portal..

can't we use any geo location? or any other way to show this?

You can display User Location, but that data need to be present in your Location or some pther table from where you can query and then display it.

Do you have that data available in some table in your instance?

If yes then you need to update the code as below:

Server:

getUserDetails();

function getUserDetails(){
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addQuery('sys_id',gs.getUserID());
gr.query();
if(gr.next()){
data.Name = gr.name;
data.Location  = gr.getDisplayValue('location');

}
}

HTML:

<div>
<span>{{data.name}}</span>
<span>{{data.Location}}</span>
</div>

Hope this helps. Please mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.

Regards,

Hi Sathwik,

you cannot get the location from where user logged in directly from ServiceNow

you can try to use javascript browser code but you need to play with that

in client side add the code; check this for help

to get temperature you can use some API call which accepts latitude and longitude
