Configuring a portal form view


Portals pages use form views defined in agent interface. Depending on the table, the portal widgets use different kinds of views: some retrieve layout information from heapselect elements, and some use widgets.

To configure the set of fields of a form to be displayed on portal, perform the following steps:

  1. Open a record in the table for which you need to configure the portal view.
  2. In the hamburger menu Image Modified, select Configure → Form → Layout.
  3. In the Form view and section, select the view used by the widget instance.
  4. Depending on the widget, there are two ways to configure the layout:
    • move elements for the Service Catalog and Service Portal views. 

    • edit the Read Only Form widget properties for the SP and SP View Only views.
  5. Click Save Save to apply changes.

To change the view that a widget instance uses, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the widget instance (ListItem) displaying the records form you need to configure.
  2. In the Schema Option Values field, enter the view name like this: 

    Code Block
    themeConfluence
