Hello chanikya,

GlideModal is a replacement of GlideWindow and GlideDialogWindow. So show_list is a UI page.

"show_list" is an UI page defined in your instance.

show_list is actually nothing. It's ignored because the real param that matters here is "table".

GlideModal uses the RenderInfo processor and that looks at the preference name "table" to decide what ui page to show. In this case table = incident_list

The platform then decides to use the list template because it's a table + list suffix. Don't worry if this is confusing because it's all hidden away in the inner workings of the platform.

The real thing to take away from this is:

var m = new GlideModal("some_ui_page");
m.render(); // Will render a ui page


var m = new GlideModal("some_ui_page");
m.setPreference('table', 'incident_list');
m.render(); // Will render the incident list
