Client Scripts.md

Client Script Standards

• Use Client Scripts to validate user input
• When possible, use a UI Policy to set field attributes to mandatory, read-only, or visible rather than a Client Script
• Do not create Global Client Scripts, instead create them on Base Tables that can be inherited for all child/extending tables
• If possible, avoid DOM Manipulation
• Do not use GlideRecord in Client Scripts, use GlideAjax instead
• Always remove console logging and alerts prior to completion
• If creating Client Scripts for Catalog Items, ensure that it works in the Service Portal
