How to search for fqdn column instead of name column on CI by default

[tyler_johnson]

I have been attempting to update the search function for incidents to use by default the fqdn field to be searching from. by default it searches name starts with. I would like to just update the incident table search to search from fqdn starts with for all users. i created a dictionary override on the task table for incident with only Override attributes checked with the below attributes. 

ref_ac_order_by=sys_class_name,ref_contributions=task_show_ci_map;show_related_records,ref_ac_columns=fqdn,ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,edge_encryption_enabled=true

I thought by changint the ref_ac_columns to be fqdn would fix it but still when i attempt to place a value in the ci search box and hit search it defaults to name>starts with.

Hi @tyler_johnson ,

ref_ac_order_by=sys_class_name,ref_contributions=task_show_ci_map;show_related_records,ref_ac_columns=fqdn,ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,edge_encryption_enabled=true,ref_ac_columns_search=true

try this

by adding ref_ac_columns_search=true attribute

This works for the initial search but is it possible to stop it searching the name field by default when you open the magnifying glass?

Hi @tyler_johnson ,

not unless you change the display of the ci table to fqdn 

Select a field as the table display value

or

try this approach

create an ACL to hide the name column and check
