How do I configure a pop-up view on a reference field?

Jenny Mayer

I created a new table (Clients) extending it from the core_company table.  I want a reference field on another table pointing at the new table Clients.  The pop-up view on that reference field shows the default view and not the form view I created for Clients.  How do I configure this? 

I've tried this and it just changed the view on the Clients table, it did nothing in the pop-up.

hi Jenny, 

You can refer to the servicenow doc on how to create a new view and name it "sys_popup", then this new view will be used by your custom table reference field.

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/geneva-servicenow-platform/page/administer/navigation_and_ui/task/t_CreateAView.html

hope this helps.

Hey Bryan, 

ServiceNow doesnt allow "_" in the view name so how can I still make this view?

Sometimes you wont find view in form layout. You can go like this and change in form layout of this form

Hello,

In "Form Builder", we can't create the "sys_popup" view because the underscore "_" is not accepted(Error: Supported characters are: alphanumeric and whitespace)

So, I used "Form Layout" to create the view, and then I was able to configure the sys_popup view in "Form Builder".

Hope this helps!
