Hello,
Is there anyways to dot-walk in a report and filter based on the custom relationship created?
Background is as follows,
I've a custom workflow running on a custom table which will insert records in Profile table of GRC application. "Applies to", which couldn't be dot-walked in report refers to a record in custom table. We want to run a report on profile table with filters and columns from custom-table based on "Applies to" field.
I understand to dot-walk parent-child relationship is required. However, our community could share if some of us have implemented this using custom relationship(as in related list).
Thanks.

I would prefer creating an m2m table which captures relationship between Custom table and Profile table.
To create a ServiceNow M2M relationship, use the sys_m2m table.
In relationship table you can create relationship with any reference field to get related data associated with particular filed.

Hi G Balaji,
Have a look at these documents:
Reporting on extended table fields using dot-walking
Also, ensure you have selected the 'Show Related Fields' (last option) in the filter drop down.
Let me know if it helps.
