MyNow occasionally loading u16 when opening Support > GetSupport

MichaelP1 — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:05:26 GMT

Occasionally when I open the MyNow portal and navigate to the Support > Get Support page, I am prompted with a u16 page, rather than the expected portal page.

Does anyone else have this issue or have any ideas how to resolve it?

Reloading the page doesn't always resolve it.

Hi @MichaelP1 ,

I’ve seen something similar where sometimes the Get Support page in MyNow shows a u16 page for some users. It usually comes down to a misconfigured page/widget, permissions, or missing content in that instance.

What I'd check / try:

Inspect the page URL when “u16” shows up, see if there’s a sys_id=u16 or similar. In the instance environment, verify that the Get Support portal page (widget / content item) is active/ published. Maybe it’s inactive or missing for certain roles. Check user roles / ACLs to see if some users don’t have permission to view the “Get Support” widget or page.

This is on the Service Now (mynow.servicenow.com) page... I do not have access to view the permissions on that site!!!!!

When navigating to the support.servicenow.com link, it will redirect me to ServiceNow Self-Service | ServiceNow (support.servicenow.com/nav_to.do?uri=%2F$pa_dashboard.do%3Fsysparm_dashboard%3D6e2ea28ddbe9a700d6a102d5ca9619b8).

To Turn off Next Experience -> Settings -> Preferences -> User Experience -> Turn off Next Experience

@MichaelP1

Screenshots from your Support Portal are Performance Analytics Dashboards using Classic UI and ServiceNow Support instance might not have migrated the dashboards to Platform Analytics PAR dashboards yet.

It might be updated in future but this is expected behavior with Self-Service PA dashboards. You can check with ServiceNow Account Manager or representative for more information.

correct - you can swap to Next Experience, then load the portal through the "Switch to Now Support Portal" menu item.

The issue is it's loading the page intermittently in the first place.

Surely I'm not the only one having this experience?

It may be a random issue with Support portal and you can try to check with your ServiceNow representative. You can also try if Now Assist provides more information or create a support case.
