New Feature: Credential-less Discovery...

The first cut at credential-less discovery is included in last Friday's “Stable 1” release, so it will be included in the next major release of our product.

Add an extended field to a base list

I just saw this checked in by a developer, sync'd and tested it, and wanted to tell you about it. It should be on /demo tomorrow to play with.

The ability to add an extended field (like "incident_state" which is on the incident table) to a base list (e.g., the task list).

How many times have I seen someone want to add Caller ID or Incident State to the My Work list? But you couldn't, 'cuz My Work is a task list and task records don't t have access to extended tables' fields.

Documentation and the Service now Knowledgebase

Dear Service Now Insert/Modify image, and I don't like it.

I want a simpler solution to building documentation in Service Now. Similar to sharepoint where OLE pasting screenshots is possible.

My current workaround is to attach a word doc or pdf to a KB article and paste the entire text into the meta field for searching. The downside to this is that my users don't get a preview of what the document contains, and it's slow.

The positives are that it's easy for me to build docs quickly and get them posted, and I can switch to another knowledge vendor quite easily.
