Overview of this book

Industry giants like RedHat and NetApp have adopted ServiceNow for their operational needs, and it is evolving as the number one platform choice for IT Service management. ServiceNow provides their clients with an add-on when it comes to baseline instances, where scripting can be used to customize and improve the performance of instances. It also provides inbuilt JavaScript API for scripting and improving your JavaScript instance. This book will initially cover the basics of ServiceNow scripting and the appropriate time to script in a ServiceNow environment. Then, we dig deeper into client-side and server-side scripting using JavaScipt API. We will also cover advance concepts like on-demand functions, script actions, and best practices. Mastering ServiceNow Scripting acts as an end-to-end guide for writing, testing, and debugging scripts of ServiceNow. We cover update sets for moving customizations between ServiceNow instances, jelly scripts for making custom pages, and best practices for all types of script in ServiceNow. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience in scripting ServiceNow using inbuilt JavaScript API.

I tend to find that the form buttons are most used for UI actions. These can be added as helpful additional buttons to add functionality or ways to move records through different states of a process.

A UI action normally runs on the server side; however, we can run them on the client side, too, as we explored in the client-side chapters. By using the tick boxes, we can run UI actions on an insert when the record is created or on an update once the record already exists.

First, let's take a look at the different ways you can display a UI action to the user. By ticking the relevant checkboxes, a UI action you create can be displayed in one or multiple ways. Let's have a look at these options:
