ServiceNow Things to Know 115: string field a hyperlink in list view
Hello Everyone,
Did you know you could make a string field a hyperlink in list view? In the list view by default only the first field and reference fields appear as hyperlinks but using the [code][/code] tag any string field can be made as a hyperlink in the list view. The link can be used to point to a specific table, with a specific filter and can be populated using Business Rule,etc.
This can be useful in cases wherein we have to link to a list of CIs updated by discovery for example.
Try below steps in your PDI:
- Take any string field or create a new one and add attribute No Truncate to true(change to advanced view and add no_truncate=true to the attribute field).
- Enter [code]10[/code] in the value and save the form.
- Go to the list view and add the field if not in the list view. The field should appear as a link to the CI table.
