You can also watch a short video on how to navigate directly to a table.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > App Engine > ServiceNow Studio.
2. Open a table directly in one of two ways.
   • In the Navigator panel, with any application or file category selected, select Open list.

     The list opens in a new integrated tab. In the example below, this is a list of all apps on the Custom Applications table [sys_app].

   • In the Search bar on the home page, enter one of the following inputs and press Enter.
     Important:

     The table name must match the name in the dictionary entry for the table. For more information about the primary table associated with each metadata type, see ServiceNow Studio Navigator panel taxonomy.

     When you enter an input, the table view opens in a new integrated tab.

     Table 1. Table opening shortcuts

     Input	Behavior
     <table name>.list	Opens the list view of the table in the same window or tab.
     <table name>.form or <table name>.do	Opens the form view of the table in the same window or tab.
     <table name>.config	Opens the configuration view [personalize_all.do] of the table in the same window or tab.
     <table name>.filter	Opens an empty list view of the table in the same window or tab, so that you can apply filters without loading the list. This is helpful for large lists that take a long time to load.

     For example, if you want to open the list of all users in your organization, you could search for the Users table [sys_user] using the search input sys_user.list. To add a new user quickly, search for sys_user.do to open a new form view of the Users table. To change the Users table configurations, search for sys_user.config. To open the Users table without loading any of the records, search for sys_user.filter.

     Note:

     You can use upper and lower case to change how the list view of a table opens.

     • <table_name>.lower case: Opens the table in the content pane.
     • <table_name>.UPPER case: Opens the table record or list in a new tab.
