ServiceNow is a SaaS application that provides workflow form-based applications. It is an ideal platform for creating enterprise-level applications, giving requesters and fulfillers improved visibility and access to a process.

Custom themes


There are already a few theme options available in the Theme tab of System Settings, but you might want to have a few other color schemes available for users to choose from. To look at the themes currently available in your instance, navigate to System UI| Themes. If you're in a Geneva or Helsinki instance, you'll notice quite a few themes that are not listed in System Settings: the additional themes are for UI15 or UI11. Here's how you can tell: Each theme has a field labeled Device that identifies the UI version that the theme applies to. A device value of Browser indicates a UI11 theme, while Doctype indicates a UI15 theme, and Concourse indicates a UI16 theme.

  • If the Device field on a given Theme record is set to Browser, then that theme only applies to UI11
  • If the Device field is set to Doctype, then that theme applies to UI15
  • If the Device field is set to Concourse, the theme applies to UI16
