| BP Deprecated | New BP | Affected Element |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SN-GRUPWCS    | SN-GLIDERECORD-USAGE   |  Widget |
| SN-0153   | SN-GLIDERECORD-USAGE     | UI Script |

## Rule ID

**SN-GLIDERECORD-USAGE**

Impact

 The client side GlideRecord/GlideRecordSecure object is often inefficient, because it returns lots of unnecessary data.

## Remediation

 Use client data as much as possible to eliminate the need for time-consuming server lookups. The top ways to get information from the server are g_scratchpad, and asynchronous GlideAjax lookup.
