Incident

Hello Team,

 

In the Incident table, the location field is correctly filtered based on the selected company using a reference qualifier. However, when running a report on the Incident table and selecting a location, it shows duplicate entries like two ‘South Africa’. I want the location to be displayed only in relation to its company. For example:

  • Company: Airtel → Location: South Africa
  • Company: Vodafone → Location: South Africa

Would you like me to also suggest possible solutions for this issue in ServiceNow, such as how to handle duplicate locations in reports?

in reporting the reference qualifier is not respected so the filtering won't work there.

In the report, I want only one location to appear instead of duplicates. Since reference qualifiers don’t work in reports, do I need to write a new script for this? What should be my next step?

what's your actual requirement?

In Reports, ServiceNow doesn’t automatically apply that reference qualifier — it just reads the display value of the reference field (e.g. “South Africa”).

 

ensure reports are filtered by company:

  • Add a filter like:
    Company is Airtel
    Then choose “South Africa” → this ensures only one appears.
