  • On forms, the reference icon (Core UI reference icon) appears by populated reference fields. Clicking the icon opens a read-only preview of the referenced record.

    Pointing to the reference icon, which looks like the letter I in a circle, opens a preview of the record over the form

    The preview remains open until you click somewhere else on the form.

    Click Open Record to navigate to the referenced record.

    주:
    When using a reference icon in Service Portal, a form opens using the default view of the form rather than a popup view. Write permissions to this form are the same as opening the form in the default view in the standard UI.

    Configure the reference icon view of fields

    Use a table's sys_popup form view to configure the fields in the pop-up form that appear when pointing to a reference icon. If the table has no sys_popup view, the pop-up uses the default view.

    1. To configure a reference field popup form for a table using the default sys_popup view, navigate to the following URL format, substituting the instance name and table name:
      <your instance name>.service-now.com/<table name>.do?sysparm_view=sys_popup
      주:
      This URL format only shows a table and default sys_popup view. It does not work for records that use a different view.
      An example of an instance for Acme, the sys_user table, and the sys_popup default view:
      acme.service-now.com/sys_user.do?sysparm_view=sys_popup

      An example of an instance for Acme, the sys_user table, and the sys_popup ESS view:

    3. Configure the form to add or remove fields as appropriate.

    Configure pop-ups on read-only fields

    Reference pop-ups and click-throughs are hidden by default when a client script, UI policy, variable, or ACL makes the field read-only. The ability to see or click through to the target record does not depend on whether the reference field is writable. You can change the read-only setting.

    If this system value is set to false, you can override the setting for a specific read-only reference field. Configure the dictionary entry and add the readonly_clickthrough=true attribute.
