Hide Empty Variables on a Standard Form

By |2018-07-09T14:59:59-05:00June 16th, 2011|Categories: Business rules, Client scripts|Tags: , , |

Service catalog variables can be a challenge to deal with on standard forms when they are displayed in a variable editor.

Make Checkbox Variables Mandatory

By |2018-10-30T10:57:54-05:00January 25th, 2011|Categories: Client scripts|Tags: , , , |

Mandatory fields are usually pretty simple to work with. ServiceNow provides simple UI policy and client script methods to make fields and variables mandatory.
