Creating Report to include Approval Status and Requested Item Variables

I am trying to create a report that will include the Approval status from the sysapproval_approver table and the requested items variables as columns.  I have tried to do database view as described in the article below but I am unable to get the variables as columns.

Any help would be great.

 

Thank you

Hi Brandon,

I am not sure if you want to display the Requested Item Variables from Catalog Items. If this is the case, just follow the next steps:

 

1. Go to Create new Report from the Report Module

2. Select Classic UI (More easy)

3. Select "Requested Item" table

4. In the Available Columnes, search by a field called "Variables [+]"

5. Search the variable from Catalog items.

6. Add it to Selected Columns

 

Hope this helps,

Pedro

This is old, but apparently it is targeted to be fixed in Paris: https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0793561. Ran into the same issue, but couldn't get any combination of items working the way I wanted it to.

Workaround would be potentially to create a field on that table specifically referencing the requested item table, then dot-walk from there. You could use a BR or something similar to copy down the reference from "approval for" to this field.
