ServiceNow: Building Powerful Workflows

Providing utility classes

1. To create an example, navigate to System Definition > Script Includes, click New, set the following fields and Save:
   • Name: SimpleMath
   • Script:

var SimpleMath = Class.create(); 
SimpleMath.square = function(x) { 
    return x * x; 
}; 

Notice how the square function has been attached directly to SimpleMath, without altering the prototype. This means that you don't use the new operator.

2. Go to System Definition > Scripts - Background, and run this in the x_hotel scope:

gs.info(x_hotel.SimpleMath.square(10));
