ChecklistPRO v2.1 is available in the ServiceNow Store as of 11-11-2023 and has been certified to run on ServiceNow releases up to and including Vancouver.
New Features
- Journal Fields. Looks like a “String” textbox, only it comes with a “Post” button that allows you to enter your up to 1000 characters of string content into a read-only entry list. The history of all posted content is maintained along with who submitted and when it was submitted.
The purpose of the Journal field checklist item is to capture a history of input from one or more contributors. The history of all posts to the journal field is maintained by ChecklistPRO, from the most recent to the earliest contribution. Each journal entry may be up to 1000 characters in length. Once a journal entry has been posted, it becomes part of the history and is viewable from the Checklist Item by toggling the “Show/Hide Journal Items” link.
Journal field data is kept in the x_tygr_check_journal table with a reference back to the Checklist Item journal field.
- Associated Checklists for Checklist Assignments. Starting in release v2.1, any Checklist Configuration record for a Checklist Assignment (i.e., a Checklist Record, table=x_tygr_check_record) will include the Template Configurations found in the Associated Configuration related list.
- 6 new Database Views. Most ServiceNow licensing structures track when a customer creates a Database View and each time they do, that counts against their Custom Table total. To mitigate that, ChecklistPRO is constantly building out a list of Database Views to provide more coverage to reporting or other use-cases that involving ChecklistPRO and ServiceNow information.
