Details of Sys_Id

I have only Sys_Id. How to get its details where it belongs to like which Table, Record, Etc.
I tried is by using a script in the Scripts Background but couldn't get the details. What is the best practice to do so.

Hi @Dev M 
Each record has its UNIQUE sys ID, you can find it with following methods:
- URL of the particular record:
https://your_instance.service-now.com/esc?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=8beaf861c38122109e6298ec05013176 

- click right mouse button on the particular form to copy the sys ID (click in the red highlighted area in the form banner)

- Click the three lines > Show XML > popup is opened and there you can scroll to see the sys ID:

@Dev M if you have sys_id and not knowing what it is, install a browser extension called SNUtils and after you have it installed, press "/" slash symbol, copy the sys_id and press enter:

Hi @GlideFather 
Thanks for you reply.
 I will check the above methods and let you KNOW.

Please, read my second comment - install the ServiceNow utils extension, it is a powerful tool for developers
