Bookmarklets

ServiceNow Bookmarklets

How does it work?

ServiceNow Bookmarklets are executed in the context of a ServiceNow instance, allowing for customization and augmentation of new features within the platform.

Why not Add-Ons?

Add-Ons are typically more rigid and do not offer the same level of customization as Bookmarklets.

Bookmarklets can also be easily modified to fit your specific needs.

Limitations

Bookmarklets work, as the name suggests like bookmarks. They need to be clicked every time the functionality is required.
They do not persist between sessions, or even between page navigations for that matter.
For UI augmentation that is more persistent, check out SN Utils.

How to use

To use a Bookmarklet, simply drag one of the bookmarklets below into your bookmarks bar.

Once you have done that, you can click on the bookmarklet to execute it.

How about security?

Bookmarklets run in the context of the current page, which means they have access to the same data and resources as the user. This can raise security concerns, especially if the bookmarklet interacts with sensitive information.

Always review the code of a bookmarklet before using it, and be cautious when using bookmarklets from untrusted sources.
