URL in Service-now is more than it seems at first glance. The various components of a URL actually contain quite a bit of information about what the system will do when that URL (or link) is used. One way that you can leverage the Service-now URL structure is by using the ‘sysparm_query’ argument to return a list of certain records. You can also use ‘sysparm_query’ as a way of setting default values on a new record if necessary. This article shows you how.

reat article from the Wall Street Journal yesterday. The WSJ analyzed 5,194 companies to come up with a list of 50 up-and-coming privately-held companies. Service-now.com made the cut (at #45) and also received the #11 valuation ranking.
From the article…
There are some 10,000 privately held, venture-backed companies in the U.S. To pick the 50 of them with the greatest potential, a team from research firm VentureSource, a unit of Wall Street Journal owner News Corp., applied a strict set of standards.
To be eligible for the ranking, companies had to have raised an equity round of financing in the past three years and—because the goal was to identify lesser-known contenders—they had to be valued at less than $1 billion. That knocked big private companies such as Facebook and Twitter off the list.The rankings were calculated based on how each company scored in the following components: the track record of success for the venture-capital investors who sit on the company’s board (Board Ranking); the amount of capital raised by the company over the last three years, in comparison to its peers (Total Equity Ranking); the track record of success for the company’s founders and chief executive (Executive Ranking); and the recent growth in the value of the company (Valuation Ranking). As a last component, Dow Jones venture-capital reporters and editors also reviewed and ranked the companies. Overall rank is based on a weighted combination of all five components .

f you’re new to Service-now you’re probably realizing that there are a lot of cool things that you can do with the product. In most cases, the functionality you need is already set up and ready to go. Other things can be accomplished by installing a plugin that fits your particular need. In my experience, there are a few plugins that end up being used (or should be used) on almost every Service-now.com installation.
