Adding a Column to the Dynamic CI Group List View

[BhargavY]

Hello,

I have a requirement to add a “Subclass” column immediately after the “Class” column, as shown in the screenshot below.

However, this view looks different from the standard list view and is displaying the table name as “%24sa_qbs_view”. Could someone please help me understand how to achieve this requirement?

Thanks in advance

Hi Buddy,

That screen isn’t a standard list view, which is why it looks different and shows the table name as $sa_qbs_view. This is a Query Builder / Platform Analytics–generated view, not a normal table list.

Because it’s a virtual view, you can’t add columns using List Layouts or dictionary changes. The columns are driven by the underlying Query Builder configuration.

To add a “Subclass” column after “Class”, you need to:

1. Identify and open the Query Builder query that powers this view.

2. Add the field that represents the subclass (typically sys_class_name, or a calculated/derived field depending on your CMDB model).

3. Reorder the result columns in Query Builder so Subclass appears immediately after Class.

4. Save and refresh the workspace.

Basically, $sa_qbs_view means this list is controlled by Query Builder, not standard list configuration. The change has to be done at the query level, not the list level.

Hi @Matthew_13 ,

Could you please guide me on how to open and update the Query Builder?

Thanks,

Hi @BhargavY,

could you possibly explain where do you see that able name "%24sa_qbs_view"?

If it is a view, then update the URL and check this:

https://yourinstance.service-now.com/sys_ui_view_list.do?sysparm_query=titleLIKE24sa_qbs_view%5EORnameLIKE%2524sa_qbs_view&sysparm_view=

Perhaps it's a view created by accident...
