Study Notes
Customizing Instance Appearance
- CSS properties allow customization of instance aspects, such as banner text color and caption backgrounds.
- Font used in forms and lists can be set globally for consistent appearance.
- Button styles, including background color, border color, border width, and text color, are adjustable.
- Field indicators for status (changed, mandatory populated, mandatory unpopulated, read-only) can be customized in color.
- Vertical alignment of list cells can be modified to enhance layout.
- Navigator menu styles can be customized, including text font size, background color, and text color.
- Header font name and size can be tailored for branding consistency.
- List and form caption colors can be overridden for a unique presentation.
- Global search background color can be configured for catalog and knowledge base search results.
UI Impacting System Properties
- System Properties govern the behavior of ServiceNow instances and prevent unauthorized backend modifications.
- Configuration of business rules, UI actions, and UI pages depends on these properties.
Approval Engine Setup
- The approval engine must be set up for managing Task tables in ServiceNow under System Properties > Approval Engines.
- Approval Engine option greyed out indicates that workflow is managing approvals; requires deactivation to use the engine.
- Turning the approval engine off avoids conflicts with workflows that could disrupt processes.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- LDAP is used for querying organizational data, ensuring a responsive user interface during data retrieval.
- An example GlideRecord object creation for querying the "incident" table is provided.
Service Portal Configuration Page
- Access all configurations through Service Portal > Service Portal configuration.
- Service Portal provides an alternative UI, allowing interaction across devices, minimizing user clicks.
- The Server Configuration Portal aids in managing and troubleshooting User Workspace Manager.
Creating a Custom Home Page
- Users with roles can create personalized homepages, but admin approval is required for visibility.
- Unified Navigation prevents new homepages from being created or edited.
- Adding content to a new homepage is facilitated through an intuitive interface.
Widgets
- Widgets are reusable components that define portal functionality and user interface.
- ServiceNow provides various baseline widgets including announcements and approvals.
- Specific widgets enable user actions, such as viewing announcements, managing approvals, changing passwords, and visualizing organizational structures.
UI and Data Policies
- UI policies dynamically alter form behavior and enhance interactivity while controlling workflows.
- Data policies enforce data integrity and compliance across the platform, requiring no custom scripts.
- Data policies can be client-side (enforced in the browser) or server-side (enforced during data import and workflows).
Configuring Data Policies
- Data policies are managed via the Data Policies module, where tables, conditions, and actions can be defined.
- Creating a data policy involves selecting conditions, saving, and defining field actions, such as making fields mandatory or read-only.
- Data policies execute server-side and apply to all data modifications, while UI policies are limited to data entered via the browser.
