How do you push a Bookmark / Favorite to all users?

[celings1]

I have scoured the interwebs and the community and the best promising answer I have found is using a background script which doesnt work for me.  I havent a clue how to script so I am not sure why it doesnt work.  If anyone can assist it would be of much appreciation.

Here is the site where I found the script

Hi,

use the bellow code in background script 

and impersonate with abel tuter ,you can find Bookmark Like bellow image,

var grBookmark2 = new GlideRecord("sys_ui_bookmark");
grBookmark2.initialize();
grBookmark2.url ='sys_user_list.do'; //Replace with your url
grBookmark2.title = 'Abel book'; //Replace with your title
grBookmark2.order = '1';
grBookmark2.flyout = 'true';
grBookmark2.icon = 'icon-power color-red'//Can change the icon here
grBookmark2.open_in_form = 'true';
grBookmark2.pinned = 'true';
grBookmark2.flyout_sizing = 'body';
grBookmark2.uncancelable = 'false';
grBookmark2.image = 'images/icons/help.gifx';
grBookmark2.user = 'Abel tuter';
grBookmark2.insert();

execute this much code only it creates record into sys_ui_bookmark table.

Hi there,

I just tested the below script on my personal development instance. Works fine if you got an example bookmark already saved. You just have to reference the sys_id!

var grBookmark = new GlideRecord('sys_ui_bookmark');
grBookmark.get('5016969c0f98b700861309bce1050e88'); // Sys Id of the bookmark to duplicate

var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
grUser.addQuery('active', 'true'); // Extend queries to your liking
grUser._query();

while(grUser._next()) {
	grBookmark.user = grUser.getUniqueValue();
	grBookmark.insert();
}

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Hello Mark Roethof,

The above code is running fine, I have some queries, hope so you will clarify it.

I need to create a favorite for particular group members, and should move those favorites to test and production also.

And I need to place those favorites in an order for every user in the groups.

how do we move them if we run the script in 'scripts-background'.

Will be waiting for your response, 

Thank you.

Hi,

I tried this script, it is working fine but the icon is not coming for Favorites. I have attached the image below for your reference.

Thanks,
