Create a page from a legacy template

Use legacy page templates to reuse a page definition, such as record or list page, for pages in your workspace or portal.

This video shows you how to perform the following procedure.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Now Experience Framework > UI Builder.
2. Open an experience to work in or create an experience by selecting + Create.
   See Configure how users interact with your applications in UI Builder for more information on creating experiences.
3. Select the + icon in the Pages and variants section.
   
4. Select Create a new page.
   
5. Select Use template when pointing to the template that you want to use.
   
6. Enter a unique name for the page in the Name field.
7. Specify a path for your page in the Path field. UI Builder generates a default path based on the name that you gave in the earlier step.
   A default path is added based on your page name. You can also create your own path. The path is required and must be unique. The path can include digits (0-9), letters (A-Z, a-z), and a few special characters ("-", ".", "_", "~"), with the words separated by a forward slash or hyphen. The URL preview shows the path of your page.

   

   Note:

   The application scope defaults to the scope that the user is in within the ServiceNow AI Platform®. For more information about the application scope, see Learn about security and roles.
8. Select how you want to use the base page template.
   Select Use the original page (customization limited) if you want to reference the template and its data. Select Copy contents of the page (fully customized) to copy the contents of the page template. When you reference a page template, your page automatically updates when you upgrade to a new release. If you copy the page template, your page will not update after upgrade.
9. Select Continue.
10. Optional: Add required parameters to your page URL.
    1. Click + Add.
    2. Enter the required parameters for your page.
       A required parameter is a piece of data that your page requires, such as a sys_id, table, or query. Required parameters are useful for components, because they can bind to the value of the required parameter.

       

       For more information about required and optional page parameters, see Adding Page Parameters in the ServiceNow Developer website.
11. Optional: Add optional pieces of data that you want to add to the URL of your page.
    1. Click + Add.
    2. Enter the optional parameters for your page.
       Unlike required parameters, optional parameters are always name and value pairs that work no matter what order that they are provided in.

       

       For more information, see Manage UI Builder pages and page variants.
12. Select Looks good.
13. Enter a name for the page variant.
    The form automatically adds Default to the page name.
14. Add one or more audiences for this page.
    If an audience you need is not listed, you can choose the Open audiences in platform link to create one.
15. Optional: Add conditions for when to display the page or tab by entering an encoded query string.
16. Select Create to create your blank page.
    The page you created displays in the Page and variants section of your experience. Select Editor to start adding components to your page. For more information, see Customize UI Builder pages using components.
