Changing Fields on Recently Viewed on Global Search

Hi all, does anyone know how to edit the Recently Viewed card in Global Search? I'd like to show State rather than Stage for Requested Items.

Hi @Paula Cullen,

 

I believe they are the first 3 columns of the Text_search list view.

If you refer to the following documentation, it explains how to set the view from the global search result - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-platform-administration/page/administer/search-administ...

 

Although this doesn't mention the recently viewed view/card, very similar logic applies here as well.

After some testing, it appears that the recently viewed card/view displays the Title element and first 2 Field list elements (refer to the document).

 

For example, the following is before making a change in the Text_search view

In this example, short description field is equivalent to the Title whereas the number  and caller fields are Field list.

 

If we change the layout of the Text_search view, you can see the change in the recently viewed card/view as well.
