Self-invoking. Learn JavaScript!

This type of JavaScript function is known as self-invoking or immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE). It is a function that is defined and executed at the same time, without being assigned to a variable or being called by another function. It is often used to create a local scope for variables and avoid polluting the global namespace. References: [W3Schools - JavaScript Function Definitions], [MDN Web Docs - Immediately-invoked function expressions]

In ServiceNow, to create a module that directs users to a Record Producer (a simplified form for creating records), you should use the "URL (from Arguments)" Link Type. This configuration allows you to specify a direct link to the Record Producer.

Steps to Configure:

Navigate to Module Creation:

Go to the Application Menu where you want to add the module.

Click on "Edit Application Menu" and then "New Module."

Set Link Type:

In the module's configuration, set the Link Type to "URL (from Arguments)."

Define the URL:

In the Arguments field, provide the URL to the Record Producer. The URL typically follows this pattern:

arduino

CopyEdit

servicenow_instance_url/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=record_producer_sys_id

Replace servicenow_instance_url with your instance's URL and record_producer_sys_id with the sys_id of the Record Producer.

Explanation of Other Options:

HTML (from Arguments): Used to display custom HTML content. Not suitable for linking directly to Record Producers.

Content Page: Used to display predefined content pages within ServiceNow. Not applicable for direct Record Producer links.

Script (from Arguments): Allows execution of a script to determine the module's behavior. This is more complex and unnecessary for simply linking to a Record Producer.

The syntax used in a Record Producer script to access values from Record Producer form fields is producer.variable_name. A Record Producer is a type of catalog item that allows users to create records on any table from the service catalog. A Record Producer script is a server-side script that runs when a Record Producer is submitted, and can be used to set values or perform actions on the generated record. The producer object is a global object that represents the Record Producer form and its variables. The variable_name is the name of the variable defined in the Record Producer.
