Automating the submission of Service Catalog items is a fundamental requirement for advanced ServiceNow implementations, enabling processes like inbound email provisioning, workflow automation, and external integrations. This is achieved using server-side APIs that mimic the user checkout process. The method you choose depends on your application’s scope: the Global scope uses the traditional Cart API,…
This article details how to use Flow Designer to create an automated “three-strike” reminder system for Incidents placed on hold, specifically when they are Awaiting Caller. This automation helps ensure that incidents don’t remain stagnant and are either resolved or closed after three consecutive reminders. 1. The Goal of the Flow The objective is to…
ServiceNow introduced a performance-focused change in how reference fields behave in Statements of Work (SOW). By default, when a reference field such as Configuration Item, Service Offering, or Service is empty, clicking it will display only recently selected values instead of automatically pulling the full list of available options. This improves performance but may feel…
ServiceNow handles user interface (UI) translations using five dedicated tables. Each table serves a different aspect of the platform’s user experience and supports internationalization (i18n) in a structured way. 1. sys_documentation Purpose: Stores field labels (like form labels) for all languages, including English. 2. sys_choice Purpose: Stores dropdown values (choices) like priorities, states, etc., in…
1. Assignment Objective The objective of this assignment was to create four reports from the Incident table in ServiceNow using different chart types (bar, pie, line, donut), share them with a specific user (Afan Khan, user ID: ak), and then create a dashboard named ‘Incident Details’ to display all these reports together. 2. Importance of…

1. What is a Template? Think of a template like a shortcut. Instead of typing the same details again and again when creating an incident, you can use a template that already has those details filled in. For example: If users often call for a password reset, a template can automatically fill in: 2. Why…
A Script Include is basically a reusable server-side JavaScript class in ServiceNow. Example Suppose you need to get the caller’s email address from an Incident record.Instead of writing the same GlideRecord query everywhere, you put it in a Script Include: When to use it? Why do we use it? What is User Util ?UserUtil is…
Array of Objects In ServiceNow, sometimes we need to fetch multiple records and store them in a structured format. The best way is to use an Array of Objects. This method is very useful when you want to return multiple records from a Script Include and use them in Background Scripts, UI Scripts, or Integrations….
When working with ServiceNow, understanding how to filter and query records efficiently is crucial. Two commonly used operators in ServiceNow queries are sys_id IN and sys_id NOT IN. Although they seem similar, they perform opposite functions. In this article, we’ll dive deep into sys_id IN vs sys_id NOT IN in ServiceNow, explaining how they work,…
