Hi there,

When working with List Controls, out-of-the-box, it looks like the Omit options are just limited to a checkbox condition, true or false. A hidden gem some of you might already know, so not completely new, out-of-the-box there are "Omit * condition" fields available! They are just not on the out-of-the-box form layout. Having conditional Omit options gives great new possibilities.

Out-of-the-box

Out-of-the-box [Orlando] the form lay-out for List Control looks like below. Only checkboxes "Omit * button" and lists "* roles" available.

Available "Omit * condition" fields

Six (6) other Omit * condition fields are available out-of-the-box:- "Omit new condition"- "Omit edit condition"- "Omit empty condition"- "Omit columns condition"- "Omit filter condition"

- "Omit links condition"

Adding the "Omit * condition" fields

… to your instance or to your company implementation best practice a.s.a.p.! More advanced conditions could be made with these condition fields, instead of being limited to the "Omit * button" and "* roles" fields.

Note: Be aware that changing the form layout does affect future patches/upgrades. If a change by ServiceNow might be done on the List Control form lay-out, this will result in a Skipped Update.

To finish off, let's just add UI Policies to hide the "Omit * condition" fields, if the associated checkbox is checked. Below an example for "Omit new condition".

And that's it actually. Hope you like it. If any questions or remarks, let me know!
