Summary of Secure Custom Input Properties Sheet
The Secure Custom Input Properties Sheet is designed for defining secure inputs, like passwords, in a Virtual Agent custom control. To implement secure inputs, adherence to scoped application requirements in Flow Designer is essential.

Key Features
- Custom Control Definition: Choose how the control is rendered based on defined custom control definitions.
- Generate Control Data Function: Script function to provide data for rendering the control, particularly for passwords.
- Transcript Function: Script function that logs messages in the transcript, confirming data values for input controls.
- Non-supported Channel Response: Default message displayed when the control is used on unsupported channels.
- Invoke Flow Designer Object: Pass secure inputs to an action or subflow within Flow Designer.
- Input and Output Mapping: Specify variables for inputs and outputs linked to the selected action or subflow, with secure fields automatically marked as mandatory.
- Advanced Permissions: Choose to run actions with either user or system privileges.
- Conditional Node Presentation: Implement conditions that determine when nodes are shown or skipped in the conversation.
Key Outcomes
By utilizing the Secure Custom Input Properties Sheet, ServiceNow customers can effectively manage secure input fields in their Virtual Agent interactions. This setup ensures that sensitive data is handled securely, enhances user experience through conditional logic, and allows for seamless integration with Flow Designer actions and subflows, leading to more efficient workflows and improved data security.
Use this sheet to specify secure inputs, such as a password, in a custom input control in Virtual Agent.
Secure custom input properties sheet
| Secure custom input property | Description |
|---|---|
| Custom Control Definition | List of custom control definitions for the controls. Select the definition that defines how the control is rendered for the channel in which it runs. |
| Generate Control Data Function | Script function that provides the data used to render the custom control.
For example, if you're asking for one or more passwords, you would define the values for each password. |
| Transcript Function | Script function that provides the message recorded in the transcript. For example, a message for an input control could confirm that the control is rendered with specific data values. |
| Non-supported channel response message | Default fallback message that is displayed when a user is running the control on an unsupported channel. |
Invoke Flow Designer object |
The Flow Designer action or subflow that secure inputs from the custom control can be passed into. For more information about Flow Designer actions and subflows, see Actions and Subflows. |
| Spoke | Name of the scoped application that contains Flow Designer content that is dedicated to a particular application or record type. For a list of default spokes, see Spokes. |
| Action / Subflow | The Flow Designer action or subflow to be performed in the instance. The Input mapping and Output mapping areas change depending on your selection. For details about the action or subflow, click the link beneath your selection to view it in Flow Designer. |
| Input mapping | Specifies the variables to be used as input to the selected action. The check
boxes for secure fields (password2 type) are selected automatically, which makes
them mandatory. If you select the check box for a String field, it will be
mandatory, but not secure. Only fields that use the password2 data type are
secure. For each selected field, provide the corresponding input response
variable name that is specified in the action or subflow. For example, a Flow Designer action contains an oldPassword
input and a newPassword input. The input response object
looks like this:
In this example, enter old_password for the oldPassword property, and then enter new_password for the newPassword property. |
| Output mapping | Specifies the variables to be output by the selected action. The contents of this area change according to the action you selected. |
| Advanced (optional) | |
| Permissions | |
| Run as | Permissions to use for the action. Select one of the
following options:
|
| Hide or skip this node | |
| Conditionally show this node if | No-code condition statement or low-code script that specifies a condition for presenting this node in the conversation. The condition must evaluate to true. |
| Allow user to skip this node if | No-code condition statement or low-code script that specifies a condition for letting users skip this node in the conversation. The condition must evaluate to true. You can set this field
using either the condition builder or a script. When this field is active, the node presents the user with a Skip option in the Virtual Agent conversation. Alternatively, in an LLM topic, you
can reply with an utterance such as I want to skip this question. |
