Made for everything outside your instance.
- 01No install, no approval
A website, not an extension. Works on a locked-down work laptop, your phone, or before you’ve been given access.
- 02Private by construction
A static site with no backend and no instance connection. Paste production queries without a second thought.
- 03Shareable links
Send a teammate a link with the query already loaded, instead of a screenshot of a filter.
- 04Honest output
When
addQuery()can’t express a filter, you’re told why. Generated code is tested on a real PDI.
// Unassigned P1/P2 incidents, newest first
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.addEncodedQuery('active=true^priority=1^ORpriority=2' +
'^assigned_toISEMPTY^ORDERBYDESCsys_created_on');
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
gs.info(gr.getValue('number'));
}var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.addQuery('active', 'true');
var qc1 = gr.addQuery('priority', '1');
qc1.addOrCondition('priority', '2');

&sysparm_limit=10Already use SN Utils? Keep it. It makes you faster inside your instance. NowUtils is for everything outside it: the query in a Slack thread, the update set XML attached to a change ticket, the script in a pull request.
Got a query you can’t read?
Paste it in, or drop an update set XML. You’ll have plain English and a review checklist before your coffee cools.
