However, Studio IDE is not very friendly when you don’t want to work with applications. Opening Studio IDE A modal panel forces you to create or

Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.   Andrew Hunt and David Thomas The Pragmatic Programmer   One of the first questions I asked when I started working with the Service Catalog in Servicenow was how to share some common functionality among Catalog Client Scripts in order to
