# GlideQueryCondition - Global

# GlideQueryCondition - Global {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 11 minutes to read  
This API provides `AND` or `OR` conditions that can be added to the current condition, allowing you to build complex queries.  
You can use this API to build complex queries such as the following:

    category='hardware' OR category='software' AND priority='2' AND priority='1'

In the case of addCondition(), an implied `AND` is added.  
This class has no constructor. A GlideQueryCondition object is returned by the following methods:

* addActiveQuery()
* addInactiveQuery()
* addJoinQuery()
* addNotNullQuery()
* addNullQuery()
* addQuery()
{#c_GlideQueryConditionAPI__ul_xyz_nsg_qz}

If there is a complicated set of `AND` and `OR` queries, a single encoded query containing all conditions simplifies the query creation. To simplify the
query creation, create a query in a list view, right-click the query, and select Copy query. It creates a single encoded query string to return your result set. Use that string as a parameter in an
addEncodedQuery() call.

Always test queries on a sub-production instance prior to deploying them on a production instance. An incorrectly constructed encoded query, such as including an invalid
field name, produces an invalid query. When the invalid query is run, the invalid part of the query condition is dropped, and the results are based on the valid part of the query, which may return all records from the table.
Using an insert(), update(), deleteRecord(), or deleteMultiple() method on bad query results can result in data loss.

You can set the glide.invalid_query.returns_no_rows system property to true to have queries with invalid encoded queries return no records. In some cases, the query may still
return records in API results even when glide.invalid_query.returns_no_rows is set to true. This happens in queries where an invalid query term is used with a WHERE operator. In such queries, the WHERE
operator ignores the invalid term(s) but still interprets and returns the rest of the query statement. For more information about this system property and its functionality, see [Available system properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_AvailableSystemProperties&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).

## GlideQueryCondition - addCondition(String name, String oper, Object value) {#ariaid-title2}

Adds an AND condition to the current condition.

| Name | Type | Description |
|-|-|-|
| name | String | Field name |
| oper | String | (Optional) Query operator. The available values are dependent on the data type of the <var class="keyword varname">value</var> parameter. If you do not specify an operator, the condition uses an equals operator.

[Table 1. Parameters]

{#GQC-addCondition_S_S_O__table_vy2_525_jq} {#GQC-addCondition_S_S_O__table_mxx_f5b_2r__entry__2}

| Type | Description |
|-|-|
| GlideQueryCondition | A reference to a GlideQueryConditon that was added to the GlideRecord. |
[Table 2. Returns]

{#GQC-addCondition_S_S_O__table_mxx_f5b_2r}  
The following example shows how to add an AND condition to a query.

    var now_GR = new GlideRecord('incident');
    var qc = now_GR.addQuery('category', 'Hardware');
    qc.addCondition('category', 'Network');
    now_GR.addQuery('number','INC0000003');
    now_GR.next();
    now_GR.number;
    gs.info(now_GR.getEncodedQuery());

Output:

    category=Hardware^ORcategory=Network^number=INC0000003

### Scoped equivalent {#GQC-addCondition_S_S_O__section_cgd_h3n_g1b}

To use the addCondition() method in a scoped application, use the
corresponding scoped method: [addCondition()](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/AD69pEoBTofsaumFBhODsQ#r_ScopedGlideQueryConditionAddCondition "Adds an AND condition to the current condition.").

## GlideQueryCondition - addOrCondition(String name, String oper, Object value) {#ariaid-title3}

Appends a two-or-three parameter OR condition to an existing GlideQueryCondition.
This method works in conjunction with [GlideRecord addQuery()](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kEnhxKeOH9ksdDjzH~63~A#r_GlideRecord-AddQuery_String_Object_Object "Provides the ability to build a request, which when executed, returns the rows from the specified table that match the request.") to `OR` the specified query parameters to the query previously constructed using
addQuery().

The addOrCondition() can be called with only two parameters, table field and comparison value, such as `qc.addOrCondition('category',
'software');`. The operator in this case is assumed to be "equal to".

[Table 4. Returns]

{#GQC-addOrCondition_S_S_O__table_w2h_w2c_2r}  
The following example shows how to add an OR condition to a query.

    var now_GR = new GlideRecord('incident');
    var qc = now_GR.addQuery('category', 'Hardware');
    qc.addOrCondition('category', 'Network');
    now_GR.addQuery('number','INC0000004');
    now_GR.next();
    now_GR.number;
    gs.info(now_GR.getEncodedQuery());

Output:

    category=Hardware^ORcategory=Network^number=INC0000004

To group AND/OR statements to make complex queries, such as getting 10 incidents with a (state less than 3 OR greater than 5) AND (priority is 1 OR priority is 5).

    var myObj = new GlideRecord('incident');
    var q1 = myObj.addQuery('state', '<', 3);
    q1.addOrCondition('state', '>', 5);
    var q2 = myObj.addQuery('priority', 1);
    q2.addOrCondition('priority', 5);
    myObj.setLimit(10);
    myObj.query();

    while (myObj.next()) {
      gs.info('Incident: ' + myObj.getValue('number') + ' State: ' + myObj.getValue('state') + ' Priority: ' + myObj.getValue('priority'));
    }

[Table 12. Returns]

{#GQC-addUserOrCondition_S_O_O__table_w2h_w2c_2r}  
To group AND/OR statements to make complex queries, such as getting 20 incidents with a (state less than 3 OR greater than 5) AND (priority is 1 OR priority is 5).

    var myObj = new GlideRecord('incident');
    var q1 = myObj.addUserQuery('state', '<', 3);
    q1.addUserOrCondition('state', '>', 5);
    var q2 = myObj.addUserQuery('priority', 1);
    q2.addUserOrCondition('priority', 5);
    myObj.setLimit(20);
    myObj.query();

    while (myObj.next()) {
      gs.info('Incident: ' + myObj.getValue('number') + ' State: ' + myObj.getValue('state') + ' Priority: ' + myObj.getValue('priority'));
    }
