how to create a properties page?

[sry]

HI ALL,

                          Could you please anyone of you explain how EMAIL_PROPERTIES.DO, LOGIN_CPW.DO has been defined. I have seen EMAIL properties under system properties is a module with link type URL(Arguments). How do i create a properties page if i want to? also can any one explain this one also along with the previous two

• Arguments:: system_properties_ui.do?sysparm_title=Acme%20Change%20Properties&sysparm_category=Acme Change

if possible could you guys explain how to build these arguments?

Appreciate you all for any help,

Sry

Section 3.1 of this wiki article gives you a hint.

With each property you create you can either link the property to a category or create a new category of your own to associate to the property.

When creating the property page, sysparm_title is going to be the name appearing at the top of the page while sysparm_category is going to find all the properties that you've associated with the given category name.

Hi rfedoruk,

                                          Thank you very much for the prompt reply. Could you please tell me why we need to use system_properties_ui.do? how it helps the arguments? and also do you have any idea on email_properties.do,login_cpw.do..i can't find these in UI pages like system_properties_ui... and also we haven't used sysparm_title or sysparm_category for email_properties,login_cpw.

Thank you so much,

sry

Could you please tell me why we need to usesystem_properties_ui.do?

That's the UI page provided by ServiceNow for helping you build Properties pages.   You call the page and provide it arguments.   If you don't use that then you're doing it the hard way.

do you have any idea on email_properties.do,login_cpw.do..i can't find these in UI pages like system_properties_ui

email_properties is its own unique UI Page.   Probably because ServiceNow wanted to have that neat-o mail diagnostics section up at the top.  

login_cpw.do isn't a properties page, so I'm not sure how it helps you understand how to construct your own Properties Page.

Hi Robert, i have got a reply from servicenow that external users do not have access to email_properties.do UI Page. we have to build our own UI page if we want to customize it. thank you very much for your valuable help.
