If you're an existing customer using the Service Portal (sp) portal for employee self-service use cases, we recommend that you migrate to the Employee Center (esc) portal for a better experience.
Create a new widget to build a custom widget from scratch.
Before you begin
Role required: admin or sp_admin
Procedure
-
Enter a name for the new widget.
The widget ID is created automatically based on the widget name. You can then select Create test page to automatically create a page containing the widget.
Note: After completing development of a widget with a test page, delete the test page. Maintaining test pages can create clutter when managing pages. -
Click Submit.
The widget HTML template, client script, and server script display in the widget editor. Basic script templates are included as a guide.
Note: For server-side scripts, you can turn on using the ECMAScript 2021 (ES12) JavaScript mode if your application uses ES5 Standards mode or Compatibility mode. Scripts in applications with the JavaScript mode set to ECMAScript 2021 (ES12) use ECMAScript 2021 (ES12) by default. For more information, see Turn on ECMAScript 2021 (ES12) mode for a script.
