In this week’s UI Builder Bytes, we’re going to take a closer look at the list components: List and List - Simple. These list components are among the more popular components in UI Builder, and I’ve seen similar questions a few times on the Now Experience community and in the sndevs slack around them. They’re questions that I also had when I first started working with UI Builder and the list components.

Using “or” and Complex Queries Sometimes when filtering data we need to express when expressions A or B are true. When we add multiple where clauses to our query, it’s implied that they stand in an AND relation to each other. But what if we want one or the other? For this, we can simply call orWhere: var numBigCompanies = new GlideQuery(‘core_company’) .whereNotNull(‘parent’) .orWhere(‘num_employees’, ‘>’, 5000) .count(); Here we count the number of companies that have a parent company or have more than 5000 employees.
