Use number field as short cut in to navigate to a record.

[ewatch]

Not sure about a 100% solution yet but I thought it would be nice to fastly navigate to a record with the following approach:

One thought was here to also query the table to verify if this is a valid number (at least the starting chars like INC, CHG, etc.): sys_number

What do you think about this topic ?

I know its also possible to go there via the searchfield but I would like it to just go there through slashcommands. Other possibility would be to do the following:

• Query sys_number field and build up map in Browser Extension
• when a number is pasted in the slash commands check against this map and get the table
• convert the pasted number into a table slash command like /incident number=

This is already a feature with the /tsk slash command.

My example was now only in relation to task. Yes /tsk would work for task tables that inherit the "Task" table. 👍

But it should be working for every table that uses the "Prefix" configuration.

Example: On the PDIs there is for example a table "ast_contract" which doesn't inherit from task. "/CNTR0009001" should also work in this case.

You can just use "/search CNTR0009001"

Hey @avotom, that's a good idea. Thank you. Then I will close this issue.

Based on this discussion I added this

• Slash command now triggers a global search when no match is found, ie: /INC3940740 opens that incident. This is a shortcut for the /search command. If the command contains a _ it tries to open a table list like it used to.
