Filter Navigator Possibilities?

We all know that we can go to a certain table directly by typing the name of the table and adding dot list into the filter navigator. Or go to the form of that table by adding dot do. Now, seeing I am still quite new to SN, I was wondering if there was a list somewhere with all possible strings that you could enter into the filter navigator, that would trigger a certain action. What I am curious towards is the possibilities that the filter navigator has to offer, besides filtering the menu.

Hi Peter,



I believe it's just .list, .do, and .form. I would also check out the following article as it shows how to navigate ServiceNow using the url.

Hi Peter,



Please see the below two short cut for opening a list of records from particular table/form or create a new records on the particular table/form.



table_name.do- it will show you the newly initiated record which you dont need to search eg, if you want to create a new record on the incident table then type incident.do it will create a new object which only you need to submit it and you will not have to go to create new module in incidents application.


table_name.list- it will list the all records in that particular table.



Follow below link for more details on snow console.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that is what I said and if you click on this link from your link, it says that you can use both .list and .form to navigate to the list or form of a table. Now there also is .do, which in some cases sends you to the form similar as .form, but in other cases it doesn't go to a form at all, like when you type "nav_to.do". So do you know of a list, where I can find all possibilities to enter in the Filter Navigator?


Hi Peter,



It only sends you to a form if you use tablename.do (or tablename.form). nav_to.do actually sends you to a ServiceNow page. You'll find similar functionality if you go to knowledge_home_launcher.do. I don't think there is a resource that thoroughly describes that behavior, but there's not much more that I know of than the three things you've already discovered.


OK, thanks for enlightening me!
