The GlideUICompatibility API provides the ability for scoped applications to define their own minimum browser versions. This is done by creating system properties for the scoped application.

You create the properties using the sys_properties list and assign a version number. When you do this from the scoped application, the <scope-name> prefix is automatically added to the property name. The scoped application UI compatibility properties are:

  • <scope-name>.ui.ie_minimum
  • <scope-name>.ui.chrome_minimum
  • <scope-name>.ui.firefox_minimum
  • <scope-name>.ui.safari_major_version_minimum

You can then use the GlideUICompatibility class to determine if the current browser is supported.
