Exploring Next Experience pickers

Next Experience scope pickers provide easy consistent scope selection across your instance.

The scope selection menu icon (

Scope selector icon.\) displays in the Unified Navigation for users with roles that provide access to the application, domain, and update set scope pickers.

Any non-Global application scope displays a red circle on the scope selector menu icon (

The instance tools icon (

Instance tools icon.\) displays the application scope and current update set in a horizontal row beneath the other tool icons in the Unified Navigation. To enable this feature, you must create a system property called **glide.ui.next\_experience.instance\_tools\_disabled** and set it to **False**. When this feature is enabled, the scope selector icon is hidden.
  • Application scope: Enables application developers to view and select the application where their changes apply. For more information, see Application scope.
  • Domain scope: Defines what users can access. Only users with access to domain separation see the domain scope picker. For more information, see Domain scope.
  • Update set: Enables admin users to choose an update set for making and tracking customizations. For more information, see Exploring System Update Sets.

  • Crypto module selector: Enables users with more than one cryptographic module to select a module when entering data. This picker displays instead of the encryption context selector when the Key Management Framework is enabled through the com.glide.kmf.global system property and the system property glide_encryption.cle_replatforming_with_kmf sys_prop is set to opt_in. For more information, see Create a cryptographic module.

Keyboard shortcuts for the scope selector menu

Add keyboard shortcuts for scope selector menus to be able to navigate scope selectors using your keyboard.

Keyboard shortcuts for scope selector menus must be configured. They aren't available by default.

Note: Each of the pickers below includes two system properties that the admin must create. The Value field of the first one must be set to true. The Value field of the second one must be set to the keyboard combo for the picker.
