Want to modify the new button on a list view to point to a UI page.

[jcfourie]

I would like to modify the "new" button on the list view of a custom table. For example if you click on Incidents->open. The list of all open incidents pop up. Is it possible to change where the blue "new" button points to? I would like to create a custom form through a UI Page and make the New button point there.

I guess another way of asking the question is by saying i want to create a completely different form for a custom table. When an existing entry is opened or a new entry is created it should be done on a custom page. Does anyone know if this is possible or has been done?

Hi Pradeep

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. It's not exactly what i meant though, I am thinking I am not supposed to be able to do what i want to do but let me try explain it better.

In the image i highlight two things. Is it possible to change what happens when i click on either the new button at the top or on the links for the records.

I want to create a module that makes use of the servicenow list functionality, but i want to display a custom UI page instead of a form when viewing the actual record. I imagine two possible ways of doing this. Either by recognizing that the user wants to go to the form and redirecting it somewhere else. Or possibly removing the button and links and creating new ones that point where i want it to go?

Regards

Hi, Juan

when I got familiarized with your 1st question - my answers was similar to Pradeep, but reading your 2nd explanation confuses .. would you describe to different scenarios for #1 and #2 more clearly?

Hi Andrii

Sure, i'll try break it down.

1. I want to create a custom table and user the standard list view for that table
2. When clicking on the "new" (number 1 on the image) button on the list i want it to go to a custom page and not the standard form.
3. When clicking on the link with the identifying number in the list, once again i want it to go to a custom page instead of the standard form.

The reason i want to do this is because i want a more customized form than what i can easily do with a standard form view. Does that make more sense now?
