How to know which plugins my application needs?

[LizaS]

Hey, I've recently created a new ServiceNow application.

How can I know which plugins my application requires (I haven't installed any additional plugins on my instance as part of the development and testing process)?

My app has the following features:

1. Application menus and models
2. System properties and properties category
3. Access controls and roles
4. A business role
   1. It uses GlideRecord to query tables
   2. gs to log
   3. sn_ws.RESTMessageV2 to perform HTTP requests
   4. gs.getProperty to read property values
5. Some tables (with list layout)
6. UI page
7. Import set web service

I believe the application needs the System Import sets plugin, but I'm unsure what other plugins are needed.

Maybe REST API Provider?

Hi @LizaS 

It is tough to say that what are relevant or not. Let's take example

- You bought a new phone and many apps are pre installed, lets say 30. 

- You will go each and i assume out of 30 you heard and know about 25 Apps. and rest 5 you never heard so you need to explore rest 5 to know is it relevant for you or not.

- But when we get PDI , number of plugins in 100's i can came as pre installed including incident management as well. 

- So what i want to , SN give as basic plugin as pre installed so user can do the basic and few advance activities. 

Today you have small app, so you can list down but if tomorrow you are going to build a complex app it is tough to see all this and time taking as well. 

My app has the following features:

1. Application menus and models    -- Pre installed
2. System properties and properties category -- Pre installed
3. Access controls and roles - -- Pre installed
4. A business role - -- Pre installed
   1. It uses GlideRecord to query tables
   2. gs to log
   3. sn_ws.RESTMessageV2 to perform HTTP requests
   4. gs.getProperty to read property values
5. Some tables (with list layout) - -- Pre installed
6. UI page - -- Pre installed
7. Import set web service -- -- Pre installed

HI @LizaS 

May I know what was wrong in my answer or clarification i provided to you?

@LizaS 

it all depends on what your scoped app or business requirement needs

There are lot of plugins which are auto-installed when instance is provisioned such as Import set etc

Hey, I listed the needs and features of my app above.

@LizaS 

I went through your app details above.

As per my knowledge you don't need anything extra other than what comes with a newly provisioned instance.

So you should be good.
