The form widget is a platform form within the Service Portal UI with a few differences. You can use this base system widget as-is in your portal or clone it to suit your own business needs.

URL Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
sys_id or sl_sys_id | Sys_id for the record to be displayed. |
table, sl_table, or t | Table for the record to be displayed. The form widget validates access to the table by checking for the necessary cross-scope privileges when fetching data from the table. To turn off validating cross-scope privileges, you can set the glide.service_portal.enforce_cross_scope_check_in_form system property to false. For more information, see Service Portal properties. |
view or v | View used to display the record. |
In the following example, the URL would display an incident with a sys_id of 1c741bd70b2322007518478d83673af3 in the portal view:
https://example.service-now.com/sp?id=form&table=incident&sys_id=1c741bd70b2322007518478d83673af3&view=portal
