Hello guys.
I've created an external report and would like to be able to link (add a hyperlink) to the given incident. I noted the URL (the address in the web browser) does not include the incident.
Is there a way to have a link to the ticket (inc or task) that can be either pulled in a report or formulated? if the URL included the incident number it would be as easy as concatenating everything but the incident number + the cell that contains the incident.
Any ideas of how to do something like this?
Thanks,

You can export directly from URL for your report requirements.

You can do this by creating a calculated field of type URl on incident table.
Try below:
1. Create a field
Type: URL
Calculated tab: calculated-- checked
Calculation: 'https://' + gs.getProperty('instance_name') + '.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=incident.do?sys_id=' +current.sys_id ;
once the field is created, add it in your report and download the report. Now you should be able to navigate directly to the incident from the Excel.
Please mark my response as correct and helpful if it helped solved your question.
