How to edit visual task board

Hello,

For one of our clients I am implementing the visual task board plugin.

They dont want to make use of flow- and guided boards.

I used the ui context menu to make the users unable to select these boards.

Sadly servicenow shows an URL in the visual task board welcome page that says:

Learn How to Create a Board from an Existing Table Query

Now you can imagine this will create some confusion.

Could you point me in the right direction to remove this URL?

Another question where i could not find an answer to was:

When i click on a personal task on the board it opens a form connected to the table vtb_task.

In the left top you see the task number.

Clicking this number opens a second form connected to the vtb_task table.

Is there a way to edit this URL?

I tried using a global ui script but I dont know how to trigger this when opening the Visual task board module.

Thanks for the help

Kind Regards,

Stijn

Regarding your first question, I assume you are talking about this:

While the underlying code for this page comes from a built-in Jelly template that cannot be altered, the message can be customized in the sys_ui_message table.



1. Click System UI > Messages


2. Click "New"


3. Fill out the form like this

4. Click Submit



Presto:

You can't make the bullet point completely go away, but you can replace it with a message of your choosing!


You can use this place in lots of places in the UI. If you wonder if a certain label might be customizable and you aren't sure how to do it, check if there is an entry for it in the UI Message table. If one doesn't exist yet, try making a UI Message with the exact text of the label for the name and see if that does the trick!



If I figure out the answer to your second question I'll put another post. Too bad I can't get marked twice for the answer though!


Thank you.



This brings a little bit closer.


But I am looking to remove:

I see in your screenshot you already removed it, how did you do this?



Looking forward seeing the other post aswell

Oh I see. My instance doesn't have the "Learn How to Create a Board from an Existing Table Query" link. Never did. I'm not sure how to get rid of it. I also do not know the answer to your second question. Can anybody else help Stijn?
