var deepLinkGenerator = new global.MobileDeepLinkGenerator("request");
var link = deepLinkGenerator.getScreenLink("a75df1920f2033001befa68ca8767e50", uiParams);

Now for above script inaddition to it i am trying to add couple of paramerts in url and generate url .
but i am unsuccesfull.

i have tried like this : 

var uiParams = {
 "340439b9db10d490b6f887f43a961929": "Meeting Room", 
//i am replaced the sys id of meeting room record and field name //
 

var deepLinkGenerator = new global.MobileDeepLinkGenerator("request");

var link = deepLinkGenerator.getScreenLink("4cd7936cdb2dc410b952413b3a9619e7", uiParams);
gs.print(link);
//Replaced sysid of applet created for mobile application )

Hi Govardham,

 

Not sure if you pasted the entire script. If yes, then please check your syntax.

Your uiParams isn't closed correctly. If should look like:

 

var uiParams = {
 "340439b9db10d490b6f887f43a961929": "Meeting Room"}

 

For more information, please read our developer doc.

Hi, any updates to this? Am also seeking info on why mine doesn't auto populate the fields i want even with correct syntax. Not sure if my uiParams field_name_sys_id was indicated correctly. Have tried the sys_id of my ui parameters and well as data parameters and ensured they are connected backend. Is it because i use "Mobile Web" screen type and not "Input Form"?

Hi Stephie, I wanted to check if you were able to get it working. I have a similar requirement to auto-populate fields, and I'm also using a Mobile web screen type. I would really appreciate any input you can provide.

Thank you!

Hi sp32,

 

haha you asked at the right timing. I managed to find a way which is 

1. create onload catalog client script to populate based on URL

function getParameterValue(name) {
var url = top.location.href;
var value = new URLSearchParams(url).get(name);
if (value) {
return value;
}
if (!value) {
return value;
}
}

2. create a mobile web screen with url populated with pre-defined values eg. https://instancename.service-now.com/portal?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&sysparm_category=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&catalog_id=-1&variable1=sysid&variable2=ABCD 

Variable 1 is a referenced field

Variable 2 is a text field

3. Generate the qr code

// Create DeepLink for App
var deepLinkGenerator = new global.MobileDeepLinkGenerator("Agent");
// Generate DeepLink to chosen screen
var link = deepLinkGenerator.getScreenLink("sysidOfcreatedMobileWebScreen");

gs.info(link);

 

Basically the auto-population will be done by pre-defined URLs 🙂

Hope this helps!
