When I open up a new browser tab and surf to a ServiceNow URL, if the filter navigator is open (not collapsed to the left), I want for the typing Cursor to end up in the Filter Navigator. I do NOT want it to end up in the first field of whatever form I am surfing to. See here:
1) Is there a way that I can, on a SYSTEM-WIDE basis, stop the user's cursor from being taken from where I am typing in the filter navigator to the form, after the page fully loads?
2) Or is there a way that I can prevent that from happening JUST FOR ME, that is on a user preferences basis?
It's really frustrating when I am happily typing in a location to navigate to, and then suddenly the focus shifts to the form, and I start overwriting whatever text was in whatever field the system took me to... And then when I place the cursor BACK in the filter navigator and finish typing and hit the Enter key, then I have to deal with the question "Leave site? Changes you made may not be saved. - Leave or Cancel?"
Thanks you for any assistance you may be able to provide on this.
Hi @G24 ,
You can disable the focus on first field following the next instructions:
- Go to sys_properties table
- Look up for the glide.ui.focus_first_element element
- Change to false
Then when you open a record in any table wont focus any element.
The only issue is for focus the filter element when load.
Hope that help you
