Dear Community members,
Hope you all are doing great!
Did you know that how to find sys_id using global search? In this article, we will look into that. Without any further delay, let's get started!
Precap : Many times, we required to find sys_id of particular record specially when data is integrated with external system or sometimes while debugging issue. So in that case , we go to that particular table record list view and apply filter with sys_id and get the result. By the way there is no OOB way to find sys_id using global search. What if I can tell you that there is way without having these extra two clicks? It is possible using SN Utils. Let's get dive into it.
Prerequisite : You need to first install Browser extension Sn Utils. This is very easy. It is recommended to use by developers to work efficiently. For installation and more details, please check out this link
Approach : 1. After you installed SN Utils browser extension, you will see this icon highlighted in green linked to URL.
2. From keyboard type back slash "/". Slash commands popup will be visible as below screenshot.
3. Type /code space sys_id of record that you want to search.
For eg. /code 57af7aec73d423002728660c4cf6a71c.
4. This will display the search result of whatever script components used this sys_id in new tab.
5. Using /57af7aec73d423002728660c4cf6a71c in slash command popup will directly redirect to record page for which this sys_id belongs to if it is present in the system.
6. Additionally if you want to see sys_id as column in list view, please follow below steps.
1. Go to the table form.
2. Configure form layout from context menu.
3. Double click on empty space outside slush bucket.
4. You will see sys_id option added above list as below screenshot.
5. Now just click on sys_id option. It will be added in the selected list. Click Ok. You can see now sys_id column in list view.
I hope this is helpful.
