Script to automatically create UX Banner Announcement

If you’re not familiar with Next Experience Banner Annoucements, I highly suggest checking out the docs.

Basically, it’s an easy way to display a banner for logged in users.

I like to use this for our subprod environments, so users/admins/developers can easily distinguish between dev and prod.

To configure these annoucenments automatically after a clone

simply add this to, or create a new clone cleanup script.

createUXBanner();

function createUXBanner() {

    var instanceName = gs.getProperty('instance_name');
    var time = new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue();

    var uxBanner = new GlideRecord('sys_ux_banner_announcement');
    uxBanner.initialize();
    uxBanner.heading = instanceName + " environment. | Last cloned: " + time;
    uxBanner.start = time;
    uxBanner.non_dismissible = true;
    uxBanner.color = 'warning';
    var banner = uxBanner.insert();


    var uniNav = new GlideRecord('sys_ux_m2m_banner_announcement');
    uniNav.initialize();
    uniNav.announcement = banner;
    uniNav.announcement_config = '36aefd8153223010f296ddeeff7b12e9'; // set to 'Unified Navigation'
    uniNav.insert();

}
