Need help to change/Remove default filter for incident related records Metric Tab in sow workspace.

Hi All,

 

I need some assistance with an issue I’m facing in Operations Workspace.

 

Whenever I open the Incident list inside the workspace, it always applies an OOB default filter like this:

 

Table = incident  

ID = <sys_id>

I’ve already explored the following possibilities but without success:

 

Checked UI Builder for the list component → no default condition defined.

 

Checked UX screen conditions → nothing found.

 

checked sys_filter table -> nothing found

 

In the native view, I created a new filter and saved it as default.

 

In Workspace, I can see my new filter along with the existing OOB filter.

 

But when I refresh the Workspace, my filter disappears and it reverts back to the OOB filter.

 

So far, none of the above has worked. I need guidance on how to remove or override this default OOB filter in Operations Workspace.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

@Community Alums The screenshot you attached are of related list in incident record. Related records like problem/changes/Task SLA has to be shown which are related to the incident you opened so there has to be a filter.

 

If Filter is not there, it will show all records. What is your exact requirement?

@RaghavSh   thank you for responding. you can see the attached screenshots

Hi @Community Alums ,

 

Since you have added the metric instance table on the related list, the filtering of INC happens. I don't think you'll find it in the UI Builder. You need to check the related list backend (whichever table handles the related list).

 

Since the requirement is related to reporting I suggest you change the solution approach and build a different dashboard for this requirement.
