Did you know? Our blogs have a variety of technical depths. Today I will be introducing Did you know? (DYK) which will be quick bites that are easily consumed, today I learned type things. Let us know if you have other DYK/TIL items for us in the comments.
Cross node reporting In Paris a new graph data set has been added to the ServiceNow Performance dashboard. The new data set removes the node selector and reports on all the nodes (up to 47) all in the same graphs.
Update: There is a brand new Now Experience UI Framework course on the developer site that you should absolutely run through if you’re looking to get setup on the framework
As we’re getting into Hacktoberfest, ServiceNow developers are getting more interested in the Now Experience UI Framework and wondering how to get started. I put together a quick video to show how you go from a freshly installed now-cli to scaffolding and rendering your first component.

What is Hacktoberfest Hacktoberfest is an event run by stewards of open source to encourage contributing to projects that are also open source.
Why participate in Hacktoberfest The more able you have your community, the more that community can contribute.
When you have that, you can help any number of open source projects. There’s a free t-shirt. We’re all very well paid, but this shirt will convince most of you.
Stop writing code! Ok, ok! That might be a LITTLE dramatic. We don’t need to fully stop writing code, just stop writing some of your code. At the very least, start asking yourself “should I really be writing this in code?”.
Have you had time to sit down and check out Flow Designer yet? Seriously, it’s going to replace Workflows and if you’ve caught an episode of Live Coding Happy Hour lately, it is truly becoming the go-to tool!

For the past several years, we have piggy-backed on the Digital Ocean event of Hacktoberfest. It started in 2017 when Josh Nerius and Dave Slusher (Former Developer Advocates) put together a system to allow ServiceNow developers to accept GitHub pull requests.
Last year, the focus was around creating Spokes for IntegrationHub. You can check out the summary blog post about that lovely event! My favorite part was traveling to Minneapolis and visiting with Developer MVP and Meetup Organizer Jace Benson for his chapters Hacktoberfest event!
