Course Description

Service Portal can be a challenging application to master. There are many undocumented components and following a linear progression can be tricky. It's one of the largest applications on the platform with many different components that must all work together in harmony in order to deliver a successful customer-facing portal.

In this course, we'll examine how everything works together. We'll explore the service portal tools, widget development, Service Portal APIs like record watch, widget dependencies and providers, as well as Service Portal best practices and so much more!

We'll end this course by creating our very own service portal called HelpNow, which leverages custom and out-of-box widgets.

Topics are very well explained. I would like to share my personal experience with you which worked well. Increase the speed to 1.5x , you will be more attentive throughout the course compared to normal speed.

Good course, very useful for understanding the whole picture of Service Portal. The version of ServiceNow seem bit old, updates will be more helpful. And I hope the source codes be available on GitHub.

great experience. even if you don't know much about HTML, CSS and Angular still it is helpful to understand you different components of the portal. I thank you to Mark and Udemy for arranging the wonderful course for the learners.

Very nice explanation about the portal. But one needs to have an understanding of the AngularJS and Bootstrap before this course. Its really hard for the beginners like me to understand the classes used in css and out of the box widgets available to select in different situations. I feel that there should be little more stress on passing data from server side to client side (how to pass data from html to server script, server script to client script and link function to client/server script or html). but overall I am happy with this course because it gave me a strong understanding of portal concept and will excel if we keep practicing. Thank you!!

Great explanation and the speed of speech is good, keep it up !!!

Maybe the "About this course" should have described what you need to know - before you purchase. How much JavaScript, AngularsJS, HTML or CSS do I need to know?

By Rajat Gupta on 10/22/2020

Good course. Got good basic understanding of the Service Portal application in ServiceNow which is very difficult to get using docs. Thank you for making this course.

By Carlos Figueiredo on 10/16/2020
