How to Quickly Identify UI Action?

[G24]

How do I pinpoint a particular UI action without wasting a bunch of time?

I want to work on THIS UI Action which I am seeing with my own two eyes:

When I go to "Configure - UI Actions", I see 74 (not kidding) UI Actions.  How do I quickly and easily pinpoint the one that I need to work on?

Thanks

Hi @G24 ,

Filter out with the table name you desire to edit! 

Recomming you to use SNutil extension for navigating to this in just a single click.

Hi @G24,

Follow the below steps:

1) Open browser inspect option and select an element to inspect option/icon( left side 1st icon).

You can see the gsft_id=42df02e20a0a0b340080e61b551f2909 in scripts. this is the UI action sys_id.

2) Now go to UI actions and apply the below filter and open a record.

Sys_id IS 42df02e20a0a0b340080e61b551f2909

This is the simplest way to get UI action record.

Hi @G24,

Another alternative soltion:

If you do have SN Utils - Tools for ServiceNow

You can just double click on form or enable the Show Technical names on page load option. and click on ? next to the UI action. It will gives you UI action sys_id or open UI action record. The copied sys_id you can use to filter and get the required UI action record.
