Grab sys_id from Selected Records

This tool can be found in our PowerClick Essentials, available FREE to the ServiceNow Community.

ServiceNow has a built-in capability, "Copy sys_id" Context Menu, allowing users to easily view and copy the sys_id from a single record in a List view.  If you have multiple records, you need the sys_id for, you would be required to perform the action for each. 

That’s where the PowerClicks Toolkit Essentials – Grab sys_id for Selected Records comes in handy.  This tools allows users to display and copy the sys_id for multiple records at the same time.

This tool can be found as a Context Menu in your List View.

Select multiple records and right-click on the selected section. Click on the Grab sys_id for Selected Records (ASI) tool.

A custom UI Page that displaying the sys_ids will appear.

You may change the way the sys_ids are presented using these formatting options:

·       Format on 1 line – Will reformat the sys_ids in sequential order, one after the other.

·       Include separator on string – This will allow you to select a separator between the sys_ids. (for example: comma, space, colon, etc)

Once formatted the way you desire, select the text you want and click the Copy button (standard ctrl-c/command-c, or system OS copying functions also work). 

NOTE:  If you do not have any records selected, clicking the Copy button will grab the sys_id from the record you right-clicked over to open the menu.
