Search sys_id in entire Servicenow instance

[balu3]

Hi,

I have a doubt regarding searching records in Servicenow. Given the sys_id and the table, there is a possibility to get the corresponding record. My doubt is given only the sys_id, is it possible to get a record corresponding to the sys_id?

I'm asking this because I read that the sys_id is unique across an instance. So given a sys_id, there must be only one corresponding record in an entire instance.

I'd like to know the possibility using code (Glide API), and searching in UI.

Please assist.

Thanks in advance.

Can you explain how to use this?  This appears to be a script include (correct me if I am wrong).

I had great success using the SNUtils for Chrome. There are other options available here.

You simply type "/code <sys_id>" on the left nav and it will search on many tables. You can add more tables to the search. This is how I look for pieces of code in many tables.

Sebas - I found your suggestion above to be very helpful - My use case was I have a lift of sys_ids (customer db tables) - and I wanted to find ANYTHING within my permissions level that used, connected to or referenced these tables - 

I was initially struggling with the location of this utility - (should I use the browser extension or the filter navigator) -

 

Thanks again.
