If you have been following my recent posts, you know I’ve been spending quite some time trying to tame the Action Bar component. We looked at filtering, splitting, and moving buttons around just to make the workspace look a bit cleaner. But there was one thing that really bugged me. A behavior that just didn’t…

I wanted to avoid DOM manipulation as it can be sometimes hard to distinguish what is a pure instance and what was added afterwards (for example, I don’t anymore know what is vanilla ServiceNow and what’s SN Utils). Anyway, for now there are two places where I am missing OOB buttons: So I created extension-specific…

I’ve just had the chance to use Component Builder on a real project for the first time—not tinkering at home in the evenings, but a real implementation I had to think through from architecture to execution. And buddy, I’ve got a few comments about it.

I would like this post to be the last one regarding the UIB Extension for a long period of time. I don’t want to go far beyond the UIB focus. There are so many things I can implement now that the extension is in the side panel. So many things 🙂 Anyway, v1.0.13 is out.…

I think you can often tell whether someone built (coded) something just externally for others, or whether they actually use their own product. I use my own extension almost every day, so I keep thinking about it a lot. And just like I was annoyed by all the clicking in UI Builder (which is why…

There is one thing that frustrates me every day: searching for Flows. You literally need to: Omg 🫠 I added the possibility to search for Flows from the extension right away. I know it’s not related to the UI Builder, but while the button is there, it made sense to me to implement the search…

We have quite a number of declarative actions on a workspace of our project. Some of them are very often used, some of them are global and agents use them only from time to time. Still, those actions take place in the Action bar. I was wondering whether we can something with that. And yes,…

This time there is a small, but significant enhancement: search now caches the search results. It means when you leave the extension and need to perform the same search again some time in the future, you don’t have to actually search again. The previous results stay available there for you (until the next search of…

I had some time to work on the extension this weekend, so here we go. There is only one visible change: Data resources now show Input properties and Usage. Especially the Usage feature is another gap in UIB that had to be filled. 🤷‍♂️ Available in the Chrome Web Store already. Enjoy 😎 Jan

I covered modals on custom pages in previous posts, but what if you want to implement a modal within any existing implementation, like the Service Operations Workspace (SOW)? Lets take a look at that in this post.
