6 docs tagged with "sys_id"

A Column for a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) type field.

Marks a record for deletion. When the application is deployed, records marked with Now.del() will be removed from the target instance.

Now.ID['key-name'] gives a Fluent record a stable, human-readable identity. Use it to assign the $id property on any API that accepts one — the build system maps the key to a real sys_id and keeps it stable across builds.

Now.ref() creates a reference to a record in another table. Use it when a field needs to point to a record that isn't defined in the current file — for example, referencing a role, a flow, or any record identified by its sys_id or coalesce keys.

now-sdk query runs a read-only Table REST API query against the authenticated ServiceNow instance. Use it for live, instance-specific data — column metadata, existing sys_ids, choice values, role memberships, scope info, etc.

Every Fluent project has an auto-generated keys.ts file that maps human-readable identifiers to ServiceNow sys_ids. It's the registry that makes Now.ID['my-record'] work.
