What is Global in client script ?

HI Prathap

We can define many views for a table. Checking global means the client script will run for all the views . If you uncheck that and put the view name then the client script will run only for that view.

Hi Prathap,

I believe you are referring to "Global" field on client script form.

It is the Indicator of whether the script applies to all views. When Global is selected, the script runs regardless of what view is being displayed. When Global is not selected, this script runs only if the current view matches the script's view.

Let me know if you have any queries.

Hi Prathap,

Global application in client script means the script can be used globally meaning to all your applications. While the other options is the name of your other application, if one of the application is selected, it limits the client script to be use on the current application you've chosen.

Diane, this is incorrect. To stop confusion for anyone who sees the above answer in the future.

The correct answer is: If Global is set to true, the client script runs on all views of the selected table the Client Script is associated with. If Global is set to false then the View field will be made available so that you can specify the table view that the Client Script should run on. 

It is clearly explained in the documentation: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-application-development/page/script/client-scripts/concept/c...
