Is this table alias or something else?

[Suggy]

Hello people..

Can we create alias for tables in ServiceNow?

Today I see this behavior..

Hit

https://xxx.service-now.com/cmdb_ci_service_auto_list.do

OR

https://xxx.service-now.com/csdm_app_services_list.do

it takes to the same table finally.. How is that done?

PS - I searched in Tables, DB views, UI pages... no where I could find what is this "csdm_app_services"

So what is that ?

You can create Database view for this requirement.

Please refer the below URL for more details:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/washingtondc-platform-administration/page/use/reporting/concept/c...

Please note that you can create database view with single table as well

You are giving an example from the CMDB/CSDM modules, where a lot is intertwined. If you use CSM, you will see the contact records in their own table, being the same as in the user table. Accounts and Companies exactly the same.

What is the use case you are working on? What is the requirement behind you asking the question?

Hi, This post for my knowledge purpose.

As per the doc - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/washingtondc-platform-user-interface/page/use/navigation/referenc...

From the browser URL, you can identify the 'TABLE NAME' ex

https://<instance name>.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=incident_list.do

Here its refers to INCIDENT table.

Similarly from this - https://xxx.service-now.com/csdm_app_services_list.do

one understands that the table name is 'csdm_app_services'

But if you go to Tables [sys_db_object], you cannot find 'csdm_app_services'
