Select displayed search column with URL parameter

I'm stuck at the moment. I need to be able to send someone a link to a search query that I've made on my end. I want the exact same columns to show up when I send this link out. I specifically need the "assigned" column to show up remotely without the person on the other end having to add the column on their own.

Here is what I'm trying now.

[servicenowinstance].com/retreived_items_list.do?sysparm_fields=retreived_items_list.assigned

Does this look right? Am I just using the wrong variable name to get the column to show up? Is there a direct way I can find the name of the "assigned" variable I should be using?

You could create a custom view with the assigned field and then add &sysparm_view=(viewname) to the end of the URL.   I had to do this on a export URL to indicate which fields we wanted exported. Wiki Article http://wiki.servicenow.com/?title=Navigating_by_URL#gsc.tab=0


I'm lost. Wouldn't I have to create this custom view for everyone that uses our servicenow instance? I should mention that I dont have any administrative abilities. This is why I was hoping I could add just one column to my results purely with url parameters.



I hope I'm coming through clearly. maybe I can rephrase it with this situation.



Me: "Hey Bill. Check out these item results I found with my custom view that includes the creation date column."


Sends url to Bill*


Bill: "Cool. I can see the results on my end along with the creation date column!"



I guess I just want Bill to be happy without him having to add the column himself.


Yes to add a new view it would help to have admin rights.   This was the only method I could find to designate what columns were displayed from a URL.

Try just creating a report with your query and the needed columns. You can share the report with users/groups and also publish the report. If you don't have these rights you'll need a report admin role.
