Hi, 

I have gone through all shortcut posts and couldn't find this, so requesting here:

Let's say I have opened incident list view using incident.list and it shows me all records in a table with a table name "Incidents" on the top. If there is one, what is the shortcut to see backend system table name (incident) on my screen?

I know I can open Tables and see this table system name. tx a lot

Hi @NishONish 

 

I believe you're referring to something like this. If so, you can install the SN Utils extension—it should work for you

Hello @NishONish 

 

You need to add "SN Utils Extension in Chrome" This will not only show backend names for table, but for all the fields, their choice fields both backend and frontend, you will even be able to modify records directly just by changing values and it has several other uses. These are most frequently known.

Hi @Shivalika 

Tx for the response. Installed Util and it started showing app scope name + update set and nothing more. Is there any more steps for me to perform here? tx

Did you add that extension to your chrome browser ? It should display everything in double click - backend names of all.

@NishONish 

You can install the chrome browser extension as shared by @Dr Atul G- LNG but many organizations block installing extensions due to security restrictions.

So the other way is already shared by @Robert H by checking the browser URL

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
