I have tried almost every variation that has been presented here…I am trying to limit by role who can see a certain tab. I have used a business rule(display rule) to try and set a true false indicator on the person having tne desired role. then passing that along to get the if then to work. unfortunately i am not getting anywhere….also i am currently on Eureka. Will be moving to Geneva end of Q1

In reply to Dale Hynes. It should. I've updated the article.

Mark – should that be corrected in both of the yellow highlighted areas above ?

The 2nd Fuji update still reads “Sections including spaces should use underscores in place of spaces”.

For Slush bucket, to hide buttons we did:
var eps = document.querySelectorAll(‘#ep’);
eps[0].rows[0].style.display=”none”; //hide buttons

Now after Fuji patch upgrade, we cannot read property ‘0’ of undefined.
Is this also issue related with this?

Amend the Fuji instructions:
As SimonB points out – the naming convention for sections with spaces is actually different than you list. Only the first space gets replaced with underscore – the rest are simply removed – http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=GlideForm_(g_form)#setSectionDisplay&gsc.tab=0

Hi Mark,

I am working on Fuzi instance. In my requirement i am using below methods to hide the section on RITM table, And i am able to hide the section also. But while using these methods i am not able to set the menu list on the form and Filed dictionary options using right click.

1.var sections = g_form.getSections();
sections[1].style.display = ‘none’;

I am using your below script

2.g_form.setSectionDisplay(‘variables’, false);

I am using below your script to hide the section but no luck. It would be great help if you provide me the fix.

//Hide the section
var section = $$(‘span[tab_caption_raw=”Variables”]’)[0].select(‘span[id*=section.]’)[0];
section.hide();
//Hide the tab
$$(‘.tab_caption_text’).each(function(caption) {
if(caption.innerHTML == ‘Variables’){
caption.up(‘.tab_header’).hide();
}
});

Regards,
Ayyappa Swamy

Quick correction if you have mult-word section headings you only need to replace the first space with an underscore all subsequent spaces should be removed, i.e. “Major Incident Notes” becomes major_incidentnotes
