New UI Layout for San Diego: Navigating via the URL | ServiceNow Tips & Tricks
all right this should be a really quick little tutorial i just wanted to go over this is the new ui layout for san diego that is out there there is a piece of functionality that not a lot of people know but a lot of people do know it is very beneficial and it is still functional in the new ui minus a couple different little pieces of it that's navigating via the url so knowing what you can actually put up here in the url is key to successfully being able to function in a servicenow platform in my opinion just because i i use it all the time you can get so much information from the url as well as do a couple little different pieces of functionality that actually help out in the long run so just to give an idea the structure of the url in the new ui is a little bit different you'll see how it's not actually using the nav2.due uri that is actually it looks like this here i'll just paste it up here so you can see it so nav2.due uri what that is really doing is saying take anything after that and put it into the main navigator so it's not opening up into a new window etc in the new ui that doesn't really exist but everything else actually does still work and exists and it helps out so just for example we're going to go out to a computer table just you can see some base content you'll see here this is showing you know one to fifty that's the amount that you actually have set on your view where you are actually in the page asian of this table as well as the different columns and so on so up here you'll see in the url it is telling you directly what table you are actually on so seem to be ci computer and it actually is indicating that this is a list as well so if you clicked into one of these seem to be records you will actually see that this changes to siemens vci computer so underscore list is a good factor just be able to see you know that you're in a list so if you ever get something back that is in the url you can easily see where you're at also up here you'll see sysparm this gives you a couple different pieces of information this is saying it's coming from the preference module of this society that's in the left-hand navigation here what you can do if you wanted to is actually specify additional filters so like let's say we just filtered out on any ibm right here you will see that up here the sysparm query actually gets added so that structure is actually this is html encoded but it is just like this equals and that's how it actually lays out if you do a show matching and so on so what we could do also is you know add additional content in here if you're going to do that you can come out here and say give me things that are lenovo things that are annie ibm and you'll see that this builds out just like this so manufacturer equals that cis id and the name equals any ibm that's all html code a little hard to read but you can copy the query there itself if we just paste that right after the sysparm query you'll see that it's manufacturer equals this says id which is lenovo and the name equals that so hit that it should return the same results so and so on now let's say we were back here on lenovo you see we have 66 results let's say that we didn't have the ability to go down here and show 100 let's say there was actually you know 400 or something on those lines a little trick that a lot of people don't use is there's actually another sparm called force row count and then here what we can do let's go back here cis farm force row count let's say we want to do the whole thing equals 66 right so that's going to show the full set of what you want use this with caution don't pull up like 10 million records you're gonna it's just going to take a very long time probably crash your browser in general that's a nice little quick trick to be able to see even more records the nice benefit of that is you know you can come out here you can select a whole bunch of different columns if you'd like and you could change them that field is not editable but from here like let's say you wanted to change a whole bunch on key without having to you know run a script or anything around those lines or you don't have admin and you want to go over here you can't do update all you could potentially just drop that in get your list of you know 100 200 500 and you could click into here and actually flow the whole thing and change it you can also do some additional filtering and additional parameters i won't go through all of them right now that's just one that was very beneficial to me but just as an example here out on the doc site you will be able to see quite a few different examples of what you can go to and different examples of how they operate and so on so hopefully that was helpful little tip trick just to get around the url is very beneficial know it love it use it understand it [Music] you
