Thanks for the great article and tips. I always find this site useful. One thing I just realised and noted from the official ServiceNow wiki is that the name of the function must that same name as the script include. This was not initially clear to me and I wondered why my client-callable script include, that contained several functions was not working. The reference to the wiki is here: http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Using_Filters_and_Breadcrumbs#Scripted_Filters, refer to point 2 ”

Thanks
–Tony

Hi Ruth

I’ve just been trying to do exactly the same with the same results…did you have any joy in making this work for date/time fields?

Thanks – Andy

Nice stuff! Has anyone tried to create a dynamic filter for a date/time field?
I thought I had a good script I hooked into a new dynamic filter for field type Date/Time on table global with the “Available for filter” box checked but no dynamic ones appear in the list. No errors warnings in logs. Any ideas?

In reply to Gareth.

You can do that in a couple of ways, but the simplest based on how I’ve constructed the script above is to add additional query lines to the script include. Right under the ‘user.active’ line you could add lines like this…

grMem.addQuery(‘group.name’ ‘!=’ ‘NAMEOFYOURGROUPTOEXCLUDE’);

Nice work Mark.
Just a quick question how would you exclude a group from this as we have groups to separate what people can see on our Self Service Portal. eg Catalogue – NZ means they can see NZ items.
