Form widget
The form widget is a platform form within the Service Portal UI with a few differences. You can use this base system widget as-is in your portal or clone it to suit your own business needs.

URL Parameters
The form widget accepts the following parameters within the URL. Add these parameters to the page URL to display a specified record with the form widget.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| sys_id or sl_sys_id | Sys\_id for the record to be displayed. |
| table, sl_table, or t | Table for the record to be displayed.The form widget validates access to the table by checking for the necessary cross-scope privileges when fetching data from the table. To turn off validating cross-scope privileges, you can set the glide.service_portal.enforce_cross_scope_check_in_form system property to false. For more information, see Service Portal properties. |
| view or v | View used to display the record. |
In the following example, the URL would display an incident with a sys_id of 1c741bd70b2322007518478d83673af3 in the portal view:
https://example.service-now.com/sp?id=form&table=incident&sys_id=1c741bd70b2322007518478d83673af3&view=portal
Note: Timer fields, such as Time Worked, don’t display correctly in Service Portal. For more information and a workaround, see the Timer fields do not display the correct data in Service Portal [KB0752404] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.
