GETTING HELP FROM THE SERVICENOW COMMUNITY

January 20, 2020 Tim Woodruff

As I mention in my recent interview with Robert ‘The Duke’ Fedoruk (9:46), I
truly believe that the highest calling of mankind is to learn, and then to
teach.
I’m far from the only person in the ServiceNow developer community who feels
this way! This fact is obviated by the incredible community of new and seasoned
administrators, developers, and architects who are constantly trawling the
community and just looking for ways that they can contribute.

That said, if you’ve spent much time in the community, you may have noticed that
some questions go completely un-answered, while some elicit dozens of responses
within the first hour; and some that receive dozens of responses, are mostly
comprised of questions with no real answers.

This article aims to help explain why that is, and to help you ask better
questions, more clearly, and get accurate help effectively. If you read this
article carefully, you should come away with an understanding of:

 * What leg-work you’re expected to do, before asking a question

 * What information you need to provide in your question, in order for us to
   help

 * How to format your question so that it’s easy to read and understand

 * Some tips for phrasing your question in a way that makes it clear what you’re
   trying to do

If you see someone posting a question which doesn’t follow the guidelines
mentioned in the Guide to Getting Help section of this article, link them to
this article (gettinghelp.snc.guru) and tell them which rule they’ve violated!

When I use the word “rules” in this article, I mean that in a lighthearted kind
of way. “Violations” of these rules are not cardinal sins, and aren’t even
always wrong. These “rules” are really just guidelines

> Pro-tip: To link directly to the “Rules” section of this article, use
> rules.snc.guru.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


COMMUNITIES

There are loads of great resources for learning about the ServiceNow API,
getting basic ServiceNow training, and learning about the platform in general;
but when you get stuck, where can you ask questions?
Well, if you’re willing to follow the guidelines below, there are several great
resources for getting help. Here are a few of them:

 * The official SN Community forums
   
   * Pros: Permanent (or semi-permanent). Large community. Decent text
     formatting options.
   
   * Cons: Responses can be slow, and much of the community is disillusioned by
     the Community forums due to the slowness of responses from question askers,
     and the tendency of askers to “abandon” threads and not mark answers as
     correct. Posters often fail to mark answers as correct, which negates some
     of the “gamification” that might otherwise make you want to participate and
     help out on the forums despite its issues.

 * The unofficial SN Dev community Slack
   
   * Pros: Fast responses. Large community. Better thread support
   
   * Cons: Lack of history (messages disappear after a short while). Large
     community also means the channels can “flow” very fast, and some things are
     missed.

 * The unofficial SN Dev community Discord
   
   * Pros: Relatively fast responses. Permanent history (easily searchable).
     Breakout voice/text/screen-share ‘rooms’ that can act like super-threads
     and/or group voice/screen-share channels for live help when necessary.
   
   * Cons: Smaller subset of the community, fewer eyes may be on your question
     (depending on the time of day).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


OTHER RESOURCES

This article will cover some specific points that are unique or perhaps more
specific to the ServiceNow developer communities, and ServiceNow in particular.
That said, we’ll also cover some pointers for “asking good questions” as a
developer in general. We’ll probably repeat a lot of the sage advice mentioned
in some of the existing articles on the topic of asking good questions as a
developer; so, to give credit to those that came before, here are some other
articles and resources which have also aimed to help developers ask better
questions, and get help more effectively:

 1. Bianca Vaccarini’s Community blog post: How to Write Questions that will get
    Good Quality Answers

 2. Jace Benson’s article: How to get help faster on Community

 3. freeCodeCamp’s article: Read, Search, (Don’t Be Afraid to) Ask

 4. StackOverflow’s help articles: How to ask a good question, and How to create
    a Minimal, Reproducible Example

Please do feel free to read some of those articles too, as some will cover
things that this article doesn’t, and others may have far more detail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GUIDE TO GETTING HELP

Below, you’ll find some basic “rules” for getting help and asking effective,
clear questions that make it easier for others to help you. When a rule applies
mainly to a specific platform, that will be noted at the beginning of the rule.

While you peruse the guidelines below, also consider reading this excellent
episode of the ServiceNow Podcast CJ & The Duke. In this episode, they discuss
and share some sage advice about how to get help from the community, what steps
you need to take before reaching out, and how to interact with those you’re
trying to get help from, in a way that’s most likely to get you the help you’re
looking for.

 
Getting the Help You Need For ServiceNow
CJ & The Duke

 

 1.  First and foremost: Try to solve your own problem first! This is probably
     the most critical step.
     This not only might save yourself and others a lot of time, but will show
     people that you’ve done your due diligence, and are therefore someone who’s
     going to be much easier to help.
     
     1. The bare minimum version of this, is searching Google for your problem.
        Try a few variations on your query.
        
        1. Imagine you were going to post your question to the community. What
           would you title your post? Try entering something similar to that
           into Google, and see if anyone’s asked a similar question!
     
     2. This is most effective when combined with rule #2.
     
     3. If people can see that you're not trying to help yourself, they'll stop
        trying to help you!
        Demonstrate that you've at least tried to solve the problem on your own,
        by telling us what you've done and linking any articles you tried to use
        for help, including how you adapted them for your specific use-case and
        any specific code you used (see rule #2)

 2.  Always include any steps you've already taken and any articles you've tried
     to use to solve the problem, including all of the exact code that you've
     used.
     
     1. When mentioning steps you’ve already tried, don’t just say “it didn’t
        work”; tell us exactly how it didn’t work. Mention what you expected to
        happen, and exactly what actually happened. Include screenshots if
        possible. The more we know, the more easily we can help!
     
     2. Include any specific errors, messages, or other behavior you noticed
        when trying your solution(s).
     
     3. If you didn’t find anything useful for your problem when searching
        Google, consider mentioning the exact search terms you used.

 3.  Always post your code when asking a question about code.
     Don’t say “hey, I’m trying to hide a field using .setDisplay(‘field’,
     false) but it’s not working”
     Instead, I mean, do say that, but then also include the entirety of the
     code so we can see that you’re using g_user.setDisplay() instead of
     g_form.setDisplay(); or that you’re using .setDisplay() on a line that will
     never actually run because it follows some code that has both an if and an
     else block, both of which have return statements in them.
     Point is - post your code, and post your complete code. It really helps us,
     help you!
     
     1. No, I said post your code; don’t post a screenshot of your code - or,
        god forbid, please don’t post a cellphone photograph of your screen with
        your code on it… ever. Please.

 4.  When posting your code (which you should always do, if the solutions you’ve
     tried involved code), always be sure to format your code properly on the
     platform you’re posting it on. Never just hit CTRL+V and post - always use
     the formatting tools at your disposal.
     If you’re not sure how to format code on a given platform, here’s a quick
     primer:
     
     1. Discord & Slack: If your code is a single line, wrap it in backticks
        `like.so()`. For muti-line code blocks, use three backticks before and
        after your code block ```like so```.
        
        1. Backtick is the same key as tilde on your keyboard (but without
           holding Shift); probably right above Tab, and below Escape.
        
        2. On Slack, you can also select/highlight your code, and press
           CTRL+SHIFT+C to format a single line of code, or CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+C to
           format a multi-line code block.
     
     2. Community forums: When posting a question or reply on the SN Community
        forums, in the rich-text formatting bar at the top of the editor, you’ll
        see an “Insert/Edit code sample” button that looks like a semicolon
        wrapped in curly braces ({;}). Click this button to open a dialog in
        which you can select a language, and paste a multi-line code snippet.
        For single-line code, click on the drop-down at the top-left of the
        editor that says “Paragraph”, and select “Preformatted” with your
        single-line code selected.

 5.  When you post a question, respond to clarifying questions in a timely
     manner.
     
     1. Don’t ask the question if you don’t have time to be responsive to people
        trying to help answer it. Instead, wait until you can have a
        back-and-forth with anyone who replies, in a timely manner.
        There’s little that’s more frustrating than trying to help someone who
        has apparently abandoned their own question only minutes after posting
        it.
     
     2. This is especially important on Slack and Discord, where real-time
        communication is expected.

 6.  Ask specific questions; not generic ones.
     Sure, some level of generality is fine, but posting a question like “I’ve
     never set up Discovery before. How do I do it?” is asinine.
     
     1. Before posting a question, think about how it could possibly be
        answered.
        If someone asked you “I’ve never cooked food before; how do I do it?” -
        you might rightly be annoyed. In addition to making it clear that the
        person hasn’t even bothered to do the bare-minimum by googling their
        question and learning a little bit about some of the basic techniques of
        cooking, they’ve also asked an essentially unanswerable question. There
        is no way to answer such a vague and unhelpful question without writing
        nearly an entire book on the topic, or asking dozens of follow-up
        questions to get at some of the specifics of what they’re actually
        trying to do, and providing information and resources on those specific
        things one-by-one. (See rule #6)
     
     2. Remember: the community is not paid. We’re all just fellow nerds who
        learned the same way you are, and who are grateful to the community that
        existed back in those days, so we’re trying to give back by helping the
        next generation of developers just like we were helped.
        So please, don’t make it so we have to pull your teeth out, as it were,
        just to get a hint of what you’re actually asking, so we can help you.
        The harder you make it to help you, the less likely you are to get
        quality help, or any help at all.

 7.  Don’t ask questions that require clarification.
     (Note: Do ask them; just include enough information that it hopefully
     shouldn’t require any further clarification of what you’re asking. Just do
     your best. ♥)
     
     1. This is similar to rule #5, in that you should carefully consider how
        the question could be answered, given the information you’ve provided.
     
     2. Nobody expects you to already know the answers to your own questions,
        but think carefully about whether you’ve provided enough information for
        someone to be able to answer your question, or if they would have to ask
        you a bunch of follow-up questions.
        
        1. If I ask “How do I compare the values in two fields in a script?” -
           you can’t really answer that question without knowing more.
           Is it a client-side, or server-side script? - Are they the same type
           of field? - What have you already tried?
           Any obvious questions that someone is likely to ask, should be
           answered by you, preferably in the same post as the question, or at
           least in an immediate reply on the thread.

 8.  Slack & Discord: When posting a question, write out the entire question -
     carefully and thoughtfully - and then press Enter.
     This applies to responses within threads as well as to your initial
     question. Try to respond adequately and thoroughly within one message at a
     time, even if you respond to multiple people and questions in a single
     reply message.
     
     1. Do not post your question in 5 separate messages, like “Hey guys”
        [enter] “I have a question” [enter] “I’m trying to get this script
        working…” [enter] (and so on…).
        This is really annoying for several reasons; one of which is that this
        can spam people with notifications. It also makes it unclear which of
        the multitude of messages should be the base for the thread about your
        question. Finally, it also clutters the channel and makes it much harder
        to follow and parse, especially if someone asks another question in
        between two messages you posted about your question.
     
     2. A single question should have a single base message and a single thread.
        There are very few exceptions to this.

 9.  If responding to a specific person, tag them.
     If responding to a specific question or comment that isn’t the one
     immediately preceding your reply, quote it.
     
     1. This makes the thread of conversation and your responses much easier to
        follow, for anyone who doesn’t see your question immediately, but comes
        in looking to help a bit after it was initially asked.
     
     2. This also makes sure that the person who said the thing you’re
        responding to, knows you’ve responded to them.

 10. Don’t abuse tags or DMs. Tag people who are part of the conversation, but
     do not just automatically tag anyone who you think might be able to help.
     We all have day-jobs, and volunteer our time for helping the community when
     we can. Tagging specific people just because you’re not getting an
     immediate response is extremely rude and presumptuous. Those people are
     busy, too.
     This applies equally to tagging someone within a channel, and DMing someone
     who hasn’t asked you to (especially since moving your question to DMs means
     nobody else can see the answer and troubleshooting process, so nobody else
     can learn!)
     There are two primary exceptions to this rule:
     
     1. If someone’s given specific permission to tag them in this way.
        
        1. But, don’t ask someone if you can tag them on all of your questions
           just because they’ve been helpful.
     
     2. If you happen to know that someone is an expert on the specific topic
        you’re asking about, and your question has gone un-answered for long
        enough that it’s scrolled at least two “pages” so it’s no longer visible
        in the main channel without scrolling by a good margin.

 11. If you find a solution elsewhere, post the answer to your own question.
     Never, ever just say “nvm figured it out lol”. Tell us how you figured it
     out.
     
     1. This is one of the ways that you can give back to the community even
        before you can tackle other peoples’ questions on your own.

 12. Give credit to those that help you.
     
     1. Community forums: If someone posts an answer that’s correct, mark it as
        correct. Failing to do this is a massive breach of community etiquette.
     
     2. Slack/Discord: If someone helps you, tag them and add “++” after their
        name.
        For example, my username on Slack is @Professor, so if I help you out,
        you might post a reply on your question’s thread, that says @Professor
        ++.
        
        1. The points are meaningless, but they are tracked, and are just a nice
           way to say “thank you” to someone who’s helped you.
        
        2. Unlike on the community forums, using “++” on Slack or Discord
           doesn’t mean that an answer was “the singular correct answer”. It
           simply means that a response was helpful. You can give away “++”
           points like candy to everyone who was helpful within a thread, even
           if they didn’t end up answering your specific question.

 13. Do not try to get the community to do your job for you.
     Nobody should be expected to know everything, but if you’ve never written a
     single line of JavaScript before, you should be taking a JS course; not
     asking questions that can be easily answered by Google.
     If you’ve never done ServiceNow development before, you should be taking
     some SN Dev training or reading a book on the topic, not copy-pasting from
     your requirements doc into the community and expecting someone to literally
     do your job for you for no pay.
     
     1. If you’re being paid to do something, you should have some idea of what
        you’re doing; but that doesn’t mean it’s your fault if you don’t know
        something yet! Just don’t expect the community to do it 100% for you,
        start-to-finish.
        Instead, ask your manager to provide some budget or resources for
        training! As I mention in my article on ServiceNow as a career-path,
        this is a perfectly reasonable request!
     
     2. Not knowing how to do something specific is not the same as trying to
        get the SN dev community to do your job for you. If you have a specific
        question, please don’t let this point scare you off from asking it!
        Remember that impostor syndrome is real, and if you ever feel like “I’ll
        never be a real developer!” - realize that most of us (myself included)
        felt the same way at some point.
        All that rule #12 is asking, is that you try to use the resources at
        your disposal to try to learn the basics and solve your own problems
        before you come to the community asking for us to help you, and try to
        avoid asking questions that are tantamount to “do it for me”.

 14. Tell us not just what you’re trying to do, but why you’re trying to do it.
     
     1. Maybe we know a better way. Maybe it’ll help us understand your
        situation better. Maybe we’re just curious. In any case, this is crucial
        information to include in most questions, especially ones of a complex
        nature.
     
     2. For a more detailed explanation as to why this rule is so important,
        check out http://xyproblem.info/!

 15. Don’t just say “Hello”. Instead, get to the point. I realize that when
     people send a separate message (and notification) with just “hi”, they
     think that they’re being polite… but they are not. It notifies everyone in
     the channel/message multiple times, and after the first one is a pointless
     “howdy”, the rest will often just be ignored.
     
     1. As annoying as a message that just says “what up” followed by a minute
        or two of silence while you write your actual question is, it is ten
        times more annoying to get a “bonjour”, and then have your
        conversational partner just wait for you to respond.
     
     2. Read https://nohello.net - this hilarious and extremely apt site will
        guide you! I wanted to copy/paste a lot of their points here, but I’d
        rather direct the traffic to their site - so please do check it out!

 16. Post screenshots, but don’t crop your screenshots! — Or at least, don’t
     crop them more than is absolutely necessary.
     
     1. When asking for help, it’s very, very often a good idea to include a
        screenshot of what you’re seeing; whether it’s an error message or a
        field misbehaving on a form, or whatever - your words may paint a
        picture, but a screenshot leaves nothing up for interpretation; and
        while I believe that writing code and troubleshooting can surely be an
        art, it’s not an artful idea that will help us help you. It’s facts.
     
     2. By the way: Do not post screenshots of your code. This goes doubly for
        cellphone pictures of your code. (Seriously, why do people do that?)
        Just post the code! Copy and paste it. That’s all there is to it.

 17. That which is bestowed to you, in the fullness of time, return to that from
     whence it came.
     Er, uh, that is… if the community helps you learn and grow as a developer,
     try to return the favor whenever you can.
     As a new developer, nobody expects you to answer a question for every one
     you ask; but over the course of your career, try to return and help out
     anyone you can now and then.
