Service Portal Page Editor - Create Instance vs. Instance With Table

Hi SNC,

How do I create an Instance With Table on a Service Portal Page instead of a "simple" Instance? By default, when I am in a Service Portal Page and I click to Create a New Instance, it always create a Instance. How do I create a Instance With Table instead?

Regards,

Fábio Gonçalves

Usually if you create a widget with it's data table field set to "Instance with table", an "instance with table" instance will automatically be created when dragging the widget onto a page.

However, if you simply want to create an Instance with a table directly then just use the "Filter Navigator" to navigate to the "Instance with table" list view. Then from there just click on the "New" button and the new record that comes up will automatically be an Instance type of "Instance with table".

"drag the widget into the page they said."   SN living up to their expectations as normal. 

The fact that adding a Data Table instance against the actual page record is not possible in 2025 goes to show how SN has dropped the ball re. portal.

It should still be possible. What platform version are you on? I just tried in Xanadu and all works fine. 

 

Try populating the options while in page designer and then go back to the rendered page and refresh. 

 

You lost me at "page designer".
