• (2021-11-17) Adam J. Celli: Makes working with ServiceNow infinitely faster. I don't even think I could navigate without slash commands now.
• (2021-08-24) Srinivas Merugu: I just love using this extension. Below are some of the recommendations 1) Make show technical names specific to instance. For e.g. I want it active always on Dev but not on Prod or UAT. Although there is an option to set the shortcut to activate or deactive it on the fly 2) For Favicon - It should allow to upload an icon image instead of just color and some text. I see some improvements are needed there.
• (2021-06-02) Matthew Wollman: THe most helpful extension I have, it's like the missing admin toolkit that ServiceNow should include.

• (2020-08-13) Imi Herczeg: The best SNOW tool!!! Could be implemented the functionality to add a prefix in your tab title - the prefix will indicate the ServiceNow environment you're connected to.
• (2020-08-04) Subhankar Paul: A must have utility for any ServiceNow developer.. I love the script sync part feature most.. would like to contribute to this OS tool in future if possible.. Thanks for your effort @Arnoud much appreciated!!
• (2020-08-03) Andre Navarro: The tool that has most made a difference when comparing my productivity throughout my ServiceNOW years.
• (2020-06-29) Sébastien Lavoie: This is an amazing tool! Would it be possible though to allow it to work on URLs that don't contain "service-now" in them? Some clients change the instance's alias even in the DEV environment. Thanks!
• (2020-04-16) Jordy Janssen: Great extension! Should be mandatory for every ServiceNow developer to improve productivity...
• (2020-04-09) DJ: I have been using this extension for sometime. I loved the utilities and features this extension has provided. Made my work a lot easier . Thank you very much.
• (2020-04-09) Jean Driscoll: It was good while it worked. Suddenly the icon is no longer showing on the incident screen
• (2020-04-06) Corey Scott: Noticed that Ctrl+S is just opening the Chrome "Save As" window since the latest update. Tried restarting the browser completely but it continues. Did something break in the last update or is there something on my end I need to do to fix it? Thanks!!
• (2020-02-14) Pujari Bhim: Very helpful, Thanks :)
• (2019-10-07) Thilo Grobe: Great work! I use it everyday! But one question remains: How can I use the SNUtils on Custom URL Instances e.g. "portal.mycompany.com"? Can this be configured?
• (2019-09-02) Murali: Cool!
• (2019-07-23) Corey Scott: Edit: Amazing turn-around time, thanks for fixing this! When I hold Ctrl and hover over the ticket buttons at the top I get a sys_id popup and this keeps triggering when I'm trying to quickly copy/paste stuff between windows. Is there an option to disable this?
• (2019-07-17) Rene de Leeuw: I use it a lot. Thanks.
• (2019-06-14) Jan De Wulf: Awesome tool, many thanks!

• (2017-11-09) James Griffith: Awesome tool. I would like to be able to adjust certain things for the GlideRecord generator: * Reorder them to choose default. * Setting to include sort by default or not. * Setting to include setLimit by default or not. Also, is this open source? I would like to be able to contribute!
• (2017-10-31) Josh Cooper: Super helpful, speeds up a lot of repetitive developer work
• (2017-10-27) John Ashby: Phenomenal tool!
• (2017-08-22) Carlos Aguilar: This extension has been a time saving extremely useful and life saver. Can't thank you so much for all this work given to the community
• (2017-03-13) Andy Cary: Excellent integration with my ServiceNow instances and favorite IDE's through Chrome.
• (2016-12-09) Christopher Johnson: This is pretty neat. When you are coding and you need the name of the table, it can be a pain to get the table name quickly (unless you wanted to make a quick ui action I suppose) but this works great along with the auto glide record generator. Thanks.
• (2016-10-03) Rik Burgering: This is a great help! A real ServiceNow Jedi - Black belt - Super consultant or hardcore administrator will love this! Thank you!!

• (2022-06-22, v:6.0.5.0) Jared Bowker: Have newest version and as of update can't paste images in Service Now
  When I try to paste images in Service Now, I get a spinning circle saying posted image being processed, and the image never processes. This started with the newest update which was released yesterday which I verified is what is now installed.

• (2022-05-05, v:6.0.2.0) M VISHU SAMPIGETHAYA: SnUtils doesnt work on instances having custom URLs
  Hi Team, I love this tool and it helps in making my life simpler as a servicenow developer. Recently I observed many of the clients use custom url for servicenow instances and we dont have permission to provide permission to set the custom urls so that SNutils runs. can you provide use the feature where I can add the Instance custom url so that SN Utils runs
• (2022-02-19, v:5.4.7.2) 小澤仁: "Copy Selected Cell Values from List" does not copy
  I'm able to copy cell values using /copycells slash command but selecting "Copy Selected Cell Values from List" from the context menu does not copy values. Tried both on Firefox and Chrome.
• (2022-01-31, v:5.4.0.0) Srinivas Merugu: Support for Vivaldi
  I see its working for Vivaldi which is chromium based but slash commands are working only in pop-out window but not in pop-in window. In other words - If there is a app navigator then command doesn't work but if works where there is no app navigator. Same is happening in Brave browser also. I know you built it for Chrome specially but some users use other browsers as well.
• (2022-01-10, v:5.3.2.0) Mukesh A: User Experience Analytics Dashboard
  When SNUtils is on, ServiceNow's User Experience Analytics Dashboard doesn't seem to load fully. Works fine after removing it.

• (2021-10-05, v:5.2.2.6) Work - Lucas Vieites: No longer works on NowSupport
  Hi Arnoud, I have been using this extension for a while and have recently shared it with a couple of colleagues. They couldn't get it to work, and I finally found out why; I had "customized" it for myself to work on "*.servicenow.com/*" domains (without the dash). This is because I work mainly on the support.servicenow.com site (formerly known as HI). My colleagues are not so technically inclined as I am, so I was wondering if it would be possible for you to add that domain to the allow list of the extension. Thank you for the great extension, and kind regards, Lucas Vieites
• (2021-09-14, v:5.2.2.0) F Walker: Changes to scripts - background
  Hi. I'll start by saying THANK YOU for such a wonderful tool! I have been using it for over a year now and it has been great! I'm sad to say however, that the recent changes to scripts - background (SB) is not a welcomed change. As soon as I type anything in the SB window, the entire window turns black. It forces me to have to use the scroll bars to get to the bottom of the screen in order to select Run Script. Because the SN editors are very limited, I write all of my code in VS and then I paste the code into SB. With the changes, I now have about 3 extra clicks than I would normally have. Also, I have about a 1-2 second delay before I can run the script that I just pasted because I have to wait for the formatting to happen. Can I PLEASE opt out of this feature? I use SB a lot while developing and the change to SB is very cumbersome and is REALLY slowing me down.
• (2021-08-31, v:5.2.0.6) Vijay Garagad: sn-scriptsync i am facing problem
  Could not connect to WebSocket. Check if VS Code is running and wait for connection or reload the page. Get sn-scriptsync from Visual Code Marketplace please help to solve this
• (2021-07-27, v:5.2.0.1) Lukáš Slánský: Error loading Filter navigator
  Hi, when SN Utils is used on the instance without admin access, the console triggers error "ReferenceError: snusettings is not defined" and the Navigator keeps loading. Any hint to fix?

  I've changed my laptop and having trouble trying to use SN Utils on Chrome. It doens't work at all. It's active. I'm using Chrome 75.0.3770.100 64 bits. It's working normally on MS Edge. Could you guys send me Docs do help in troubleshooting?
• (2021-05-24, v:5.1.0.0) Per Vildstrand: Customizing search groups
  I need to add an attribute to the search group entries. For example, in the sys_ui_policy entry there are two attributes configured (short_description,script_false,script_true). I need to add another attribute, for example "condition", how do I do that? I can´t update the record itself, it is within a locked scope "This record is in the Code Search application and cannot be edited. The installed application 'Code Search' is private." and I can´t add another record for the same table. Can this functionality be added, to customize "baseline" entries? Best regards //Per
• (2021-05-18, v:5.0.2.0) Lord Ryan Gillespie: Chrome Crashing
  Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I've been experiencing issues with Chrome crashing since the last update. Initially, I thought nothing of it but it happened so frequently I deactivated all of my extensions and went through one by one enabling them again (shortlist...just this and WebEx). Found that this appears to be the issue. Only crashes when I filter a list in the platform UI. Otherwise, without this extension enabled, I have 0 problems. I'm on macOS Big Sur 11.3.1, Chrome 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (x86_64).
• (2021-04-28, v:5.0.1.0) Stanley Martin: SN Utils Configuring
  Been watching the videos and one was how to create custom slash commands. In the video you clicked on an icon up in the header that I don't seem to have. It looks like a cog. I see on your videos that you are using a Mac. Is that why I can't see it?
• (2021-03-31, v:4.3.2.0) mark p: Changing Nodes
  Using the Chrome Extension, I'm trying to change the active node. From the Nodes list I click Set Active but nothing appears to happen. Should the screen refresh, do I need to log off and back on? Doing a stats.do shows it being on the same node. What I am missing?

• (2021-03-18, v:4.3.1.0) Yoan Jacquérioz HVS: Shortcuts non longer working
  Hi, Since a few days, my shortcuts no longer works. I have created 3 slashcommands to show the current page in another instance : /xxx : //env xxx /xxxtest : //env xxxtest /xxxdev : //env xxxdev Very convenient, but now, as soon as I write /xxxd for /xxxdev, the slashcommand change automatically to /env xxxtestd, which I don't want ... Can you take a look at this ? Thanks
• (2021-03-04, v:4.2.7.5) Christopher Johnson: Update manifest.json to include *.servicenowservices.com
  ServiceNow customers are now able to get environments provisioned with urls that have "company.servicenowservices.com" rather than using the typical "company.service-now.com" format. Adding *.servicenowservices.com to the manifest.json file where you can define what url's the plugin will be active on will enable the use on environments that utilize this url format. Should be a simple fix that should only take a couple minutes to update and publish.

• (2021-01-18, v:4.2.7.0) Matthew Glenn: /env shortcut not compatible with tinyURL support?
  One of my favorite features of this plugin is the "/env <instance>" shortcut. Unfortunately, it doesn't work when a tinyURL is built. I understand why it doesn't work, but is there anything that can be done within the plugin to assist?
• (2020-12-01, v:4.2.2.2) Justin Henry Lo: ScriptSync changes are not saved.
  Hi, Im not sure if this is a bug on the browser extension or the vs-code extension, (but it might be caused by the recent update) the widget script sync does not push changes to the server anymore. I can pull the widgets to vs-code but when pushing, no changes are detected by the script sync helper tab. My teammate also experiences the same problem.
• (2020-11-23, v:4.2.0.0) Philip Hangyal: SN Utils button duplication in TinyMCE editor
  When creating a new Knowledge article there is a button that says "SN Utils: Add template to expand collapse content". If you press the "Source Code" button on TinyMCE and close the Source code pop up window the SN Utils button described above gets duplicated, this can seemingly be done indefinitely.
• (2020-11-20, v:4.1.2.1) Yoan Jacquérioz HVS: Reference Table
  Hi, I often need to search which reference fields there are on the form (even not added on the form layout) or if a certain table is referenced in the form. If I Search 'Reference' on the View Data tab, I can see all reference fields present on the form, but I don't know which tables they reference and if I search 'User' on the Incident table I would expect to find the 'Assigned to' field. Could you add a way to display that information on this tab (and searchable) ?. Thanks !
• (2020-11-17, v:4.1.2.0) Extension no longer functioning
  Hi, I seem to be having a similar issue to that reported on 27 Apr by Stephen Crocker, whereby I have no slashcommands and even in the options menu,nothing seems to work. I have updated the extension, removed and reinstalled and rebooted my machine, but still no luck. Now that it's not working, I realise just how much use it! Any other tips? Many Thanks, Jason

• (2020-10-05, v:4.0.6.5) Top Tanti: Allow plugin to run on alternative domains
  I work on a number of instances where the domain has been changed. It would be great if we had the ability to still allow the plugin to run on these domains. For example, FedRamp instances use "servicenowservices.com" and other instances using a vanity URL may be something like "dev-cyberservices.xyz.com"
• (2020-09-28, v:4.0.6.5) Victor Braga: Is there a way to create keyboard shortcuts for "Start Work" or "Resolve Incident"?

• (2020-08-03, v:4.0.5.6) Andre Navarro: Can only use if service-now domain
  Hi, I have come across an issue when trying to use this extension on a ServiceNOW instance that can only be accessed through a customer's URL (e.g. https://itsm-dev.zz_company_prefix_zz.zz_country_prefix_zz/). When trying to change the "Automatically allow access on the following sites" property on the extension, I have noted it is close to read-only, limited to on/off changes. Any plans to get this enhancement in the future? Thanks

• (2020-03-11, v:3.6.1.5) Karel Alofs: ScriptSync not working on Windows (Chrome & Firefox) since 10/3/20 afternoon
  Hello, yesterday I tried to import a Script Include into VS Code using the sn-scriptsync, but the file didn't show up in VS Code. (Tried Chrome and Firefox) I proceeded to update both the sn-utils (Chrome) and sn-scriptsync (VS Code) and it still didn't work. I also tried on Linux (Ubuntu) and there it did work (FireFox). Then I downgraded the VS Code extension, still no luck. But when I tried it on the browser Brave, it got imported properly. Also, small scripts (less than 100 lines?) still get imported properly as well. Could you please take a look at it?
• (2020-03-10, v:3.6.1.5) Roman Haas: Not working on macOS since today?
  Hey there, since today two of us (using MacBook Pro) cannot use the vs script sync anymore. The guy with a windows machine can still use it. Do you know any solution for that? The Chrome plugin itself seems to work properly, its also connected to vs code and clicking on a script include in ServiceNow just doesn't open the file in vs code. Thanks for your help
• (2020-01-21, v:3.6.0.3) Robbie Medved: Allow Entry Of Values From View Data

A session is well opened on Servicenow with the right credentials. This disappears when I delete the folder in VS and re-sync all the stuff via SN. Why am I receiving this message?
